Once a Course is selected, users who are not logged in to your Community will have the option to Register to Enroll.
For a Course with Tiered pricing, they will see the price as a range.
When Learners click the button to Register, they are prompted to sign in or create an account.
Users who are already logged in will also be able to see the Public Course Catalog, but can click View all courses to view the full Catalog.
Logged in users will have the ability to Purchase or Enroll from the Public Catalog.
