Registration Website: Our registration system has a new web address. PLEASE update your SLIG registration bookmark! Find us at: https://registration.ugagenealogy.org. 

Tips for preparing for a smooth registration experience:

• Join UGA (Utah Genealogical Association) or renew your UGA membership at least two days before registration so the system has time to update and correctly apply the UGA discount to your order.
• Create or login to your SLIG registration account--this is different from your UGA account--at least 24 hours before registration. Please confirm that your information is still current (name, address, phone number, email, etc.) and update as necessary.
• Review these SLIG policies you must agree to when registering:
• Code of Ethics and Conduct
• Privacy
• Registration and Cancellation

Waitlists: If your desired course sells out before you complete your order, you will be automatically waitlisted and sent back to the course selection page where you can choose another course to register for. After placing an order, you may add yourself to the waitlist for another course in the registration dashboard.

Interested in taking more than one Academy course? On the day of registration, you may register for only one course. Please email the registrar to request the opportunity to enroll in an additional course at registrar@slig.ugagenealogy.org. Beginning July 18, the registrar will review those requests on a case-by-case basis. If your desired second course sells out, please put yourself on the waitlist right away in case your request is approved.

We hope the registration process goes smoothly for you and look forward to supporting your educational goals.
