- Fill in the form to create a username and password, and then click Continue.
- Enter United States for the Country of Residence, and then click Continue.
- Step 5 has a variety of questions to answer. I assume students do not need CE credits, so perhaps they choose No? Answer the questions, and then click Continue.
- Step 6 asks for personal information; only three of the fields are required. Answer as required/desired. For Role in Research, there is an option for Student Researcher – Undergraduate. Click Continue.
The last step requires a selection of courses. Please select the appropriate course(s) from the list and click the “Complete Registration” button at the bottom of the screen.
