Our Registration Process
This registration process is not immediate. It can take 24-48 hours to receive access to your course.
Our courses are hosted by the University of Montana and certified in their Extended Education program. So, the first time you register involves a couple extra steps to get you into the University of Montana system.
First Time Registration Process
1. After checking out with the course below, you will receive an email to register with the University of Montana's online learning platform: Canvas. This email may take 24-hours to arrive.
2. Once you complete Canvas registration (instruction included in the email), you will receive a second email from Canvas when you are given access to your course. This second process may also take 24-hours, but is usually much faster.
Registering for Additional Courses
Once you have a Canvas account, the registration process for additional courses is much faster. Your course will appear in your Canvas dashboard shortly after checking out below.
