Registration
To register for a K-12 professional development class, find the class in the List of K-12 classes and click on the "register now" link. When you use your credit or debit card to pay for a course, check to ensure your billing address is listed exactly as it is on your billing statement. Occasionally, individuals have their billing addresses mis-matched which causes them to receive an error message when registering.
Create An Account
Be sure to create an account in the registration system rather than checking out as a "guest." Creating an account allows you to access receipts from all courses purchased through the system. Guest accounts do not save a list of your transactions.
Receipts
A receipt for your course is emailed to you immediately after you register and pay online. If you need a replacement receipt you can go to the register and pay online link, login to your account, click the account tab at the top right of the page, and then click the orders link in the left hand menu. If you did not create an account you will not be able to access receipts for any previous courses.
Use Your Legal Name
Be sure to use your current legal name when registering.
Former Names
If you have taken a class with NDSU Continued Learning (formerly Distance and Continuing Education) under a former name (maiden name, etc.), please make note of that in the "Former Name" section provided on the first page of the registration form.
This allows our registration staff to ensure all of your records are listed under one account.
If you run into any issues while registering for a course, contact our office and we can help you get registered.
Name Change Form
Use this form if you have officially changed your name and need your NDSU transcripts to reflect that change.
Follow these steps to get to the form:
- Go to Name change form
- Click on the "NDUS eForms" card.
- In left hand menu click on "Legal Name Change Request."
- Fill out the form and upload the necessary legal documents.
If you have questions regarding the form contact Lisa Anderson in Registration and Records at lisa.anderson.5@ndsu.edu or call 701-231-7733.
