How do I enroll in an individual Catalog course or program?
You can enroll in individual catalog listings from your institution's Catalog. Depending on how your institution has configured their catalog, you may be able to enroll in individual courses and programs without using the shopping cart. Learn more about enrolling in multiple courses and programs at one time.
When you check out, Catalog preserves your enrollment spot(s) for ten minutes while you complete the enrollment process. Paid courses and programs require payment as part of the enrollment process. You can also add promotion codes at checkout.
The first time you enroll in a catalog listing with your institution, you must complete your registration before you can begin your courses or programs.
You can view and access your courses in your Student Dashboard.
Notes:
- Before you can view your institution's Catalog listings, you may need to log in to Canvas.
- You can purchase multiple enrollments in one transaction.
- Depending on how your institution has configured the Catalog course enrollment process, you may be required to complete enrollment fields that are not shown here.
Because payment options vary from institution to institution, the payment process is not documented here. For assistance paying for listings through your institution's payment gateway, please contact your institution's help desk.
