How to Enroll in a Course or Join a Project

	Courses flagged with the key icon require special registration to enter.
	Courses flagged with the guest icon will allow "guest entry". Guests can view resources but cannot post to forums or access assignments.

Enrolling in a course is a two-step process.

1. Create your user account (this is done only once, no matter how many courses you take; you must create a user account before you can enroll in a course)
   
2. Enroll in a course

I Create your user account

There are two steps to creating an account:

1. Visit the Website at http://theflyingcat.com/cweb and click on the login link (in the upper right corner)

   The login page is formatted in two columns; the left column is for logging into an existing account, the right column is for first time users who need to create an account. The button for opening the New Account form is at the bottom of the second column. On the New Account form you will enter a username and a password. Make up an easy to remember username and a secret password. Do not share this logon information with anyone. You will also enter your name (first and last), your email address, and your city.

   Your account is not yet created! You must respond to a special account creation confirmation email you will receive at the address you registered.

2. An account creation confirmation message will be immediately sent to your email address. Read your email, and click on the web link it contains. This confirmation process will prevent someone from maliciously creating an account in your name.

   Your account will be confirmed and you will be logged in.

II Enroll in a course

Individual courses may also require an "enrollment key", details will be provided by the course instructor or your school system.

1. If you are not already logged into the site, do so. (when you ARE logged in you'll see your name at the bottom of evey page and at the top on selected pages)
2. Courses are grouped into subject categories. Click on the course you want to join.
3. If you are prompted for an enrollment key use the one that the Instructor, or school system, has given you. If you are a Fulton County teacher you will have received the enrollment key from the Staff Development office or your instructor. This will "enroll" you in the course and you'll receive an email confirming your enrollment.

Now you're ready to come to class!

Your Profile

The profile and your picture are important elements of the online environment and greatly assist in helping to create a real sense of community.

How do you edit your profile? Enter your class and in the upper left corner you'll see a link to "Edit your profile".
