How to Register:
Choose your workshop and enroll
- Every workshop enrollment opens in a new tab so you can add additional workshops if needed.
- Be sure workshop selections do not overlap as there are simultaneous tracks.
Sign in with your SAS profile
- Your SAS profile must use your academic email to process your registration and access course materials.
- Priority is given to first-time registrants, so seats are not guaranteed.
- Courses fill quickly, but new workshops are added regularly.
Save the date and join us in class
- Upon checkout, look for an email that confirms processing of your registration request.
- Next, you'll get an email notifying you that you're enrolled in a course, or waitlisted.
- If you're waitlisted, a follow-up email will confirm when a seat is available, moving you from waitlisted to enrolled.
