Starting July 6, you’ll be asked to create a Belonging Network account the next time you register. This is a quick, one-time step that will allow your information to be saved so you can register more easily in the future.
Before you continue: When registering, please use your own individual email address. This helps keep your course registration connected to the right account and prevents duplicate records.
