As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can enable self registration for catalog listings. Self registration allows students who do not have a Canvas account to sign up for one when they register for a course in Catalog.
Note: When self registration is disabled, students must have a Canvas account created for them by an administrator before they can enroll in a Catalog listing.
