Quick-Start Guide

Registering for a course: Clicking on the “Courses” button on the left side of the screen and then “Search Courses” opens a window which allows the user to search for any course in the catalog by inputting the course name or course code. If unknown, keywords can be used to identify courses. The Additional Filters function refines the search by course major (majors are pre-defined lists of related courses e.g., Customer Service or Effective Supervision Major), or delivery method.

Once you have typed in a search parameter, click on the Search button to pull up the course or list of related courses. The search results are sorted with the most relevant course at the top. The list can be sorted by course code or name by clicking on the appropriate titles. The Course list contains information for each course: the course code, the name and a brief description of the course; Delivery Method (e.g. classroom or e-learning.), Cost and Action. The Action column will display options to ENROLL in the course, VIEW OFFERINGS or ADD INTEREST

For classroom training, when a user clicks on the “Enroll” button, a separate screen will appear with tabs that show the course details with an Enroll button to continue with the enrollment process. Clicking on any of the Course Name links will allow the user to view the course details. Course Details include Name, Code, Cost, Course Description, Target Audience, Prerequisites and other information.

After clicking on the Enroll button your manager will be notified that their approval is pending, and the course will show up on your Home tab of your Home page under Self-Study. You can monitor the approval status there. You will also get an email notification when the approval has been completed.

There are more than 100 eLearning courses available that a user can take at any time on their computer. To find online courses, select eLearning from the Delivery Method filter and click on the Search button. To enroll, select the Launch button on the Course Details screen. For assistance, contact Human Resource Development at autrain@auburn.edu or 844-1693.

All notification will be by email, and you should receive emails keeping you posted on your status in that course. There is also a Message Center on your home screen where you can view the emails that you have been sent.
