Registering For A Course Or Certificate

How do I register for a course or certificate?

You can register three different ways: online through our website, by speaking with an Enrollment Counselor, or, if your place of employment has a contract with eCornell, through that partnership.

Note: whenever possible, we encourage you to speak with an Enrollment Counselor first to ensure your program of interest is a good fit. Enrollment Counselors can also help answer questions about what you will earn, how you can use your certificate, and more!

ONLINE:

  1. Begin by browsing our course catalog and select the title of the certificate you are interested in to learn more.
  2. Click Enroll Now for the certificate you are interested in taking.
  3. There are two purchase options:
    1. Determine Your Own Course Schedule: With this option, you will purchase a full certificate program, comprised of multiple courses, as a 'bundle'. You can set your own schedule, and the 'bundle' price is more cost-effective as well.
    2. Learn and Pay as You Go: With this option, you will enroll in an automatic payment plan that schedules monthly charges to the card you provide. Courses will be registered for you. You do not need to do this yourself. Please note that with this option, you will only be enrolled in one or two courses at a time, depending on the plan you choose, and you will not be able to select your own start dates. Learn more about Pay As You Go here.
  4. If you purchased a full program and know your desired schedule, select session dates for as many courses as you wish. If you are unsure, or do not want to commit to specific dates just yet, you may click skip this step now at the top of the page.
    1. Note that some programs require a specific order. If this is the case for your preferred program, there will be a note at the top of the page.
  5. Click Continue
  6. Review your schedule and pricing, then click Checkout
    1. If you have a discount code, check the box next to Apply a discount and enter it in the "COUPON CODE" box that appears. After you click Checkout, the discount code will be applied, and you will need to click Checkout again.
  7. If you are a new student, enter your email address and click Create Account. If you are an Existing Student, you will be prompted to log in with your username and password.
  8. Fill out the information on the next page to finish creating your account.
  9. Follow the remaining steps to process payment, making sure to review the transfer/drop/retake policy prior to checkout. Once your purchase is complete, you will receive an email confirmation and receipt to the email you provided.

ENROLLMENT COUNSELOR:

Use the toolbar at the bottom of the certificate screen to email, chat or call an enrollment counselor who specializes in your certificate program. You can also click the red Tell me more! button under the certificate name to submit a contact request. If you are unsure of which program fits your interest, we recommend connecting with the Enrollment Team prior to purchase so that one of our counselors can discuss your interests, goals, and match you to the best program for you!

ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERSHIP:

Visit the enrollment portal for your organization, and follow the instructions listed. If you are unable to determine the correct URL, please work with your training manager or program admin.
