6. Check the boxes next to the roles that will be allowed to self-enroll in the course. These are the global D2L roles that are allowed to self-enroll. For example, if you want to allow only Faculty to enroll in your course, you would check only that box.
   All enrollments created by this tool will have the role of Member.

8. If you would like to receive an email notification when a user self-enrolls, check the box below Enrollment Notification
   Your MSU email address will be populated automatically. You can use a different email address, if desired. To have notifications sent to multiple email addresses, use a comma to separate each email address.
