Academy for Professionals 2021 Registration - Key Points

Repairs complete.  Waitlist auto-placement upon lost course working. Enhanced communication upon exiting. More specificity about discounts and syllabus purchases. What more could anyone want? 

How about a step by step "How do I register for the Academy" quickly and accurately? Or in other words, "Where not to dawdle and why!"

What you absolutely must know! 

• Two-course limit: Seating is extremely limited. Registration is limited to two courses on registration day through Tuesday.
• May I take more? Yes, if seats are available on Wednesday following registration. 
• How? You may waitlist additional courses of interest if they are full on the form or via the add/drop function on your dashboard. You may also email the registrar that you want a third or fourth course if they are not yet full. We will date/time-stamp everything and take requests in the order received. 
• Discounts: UGA membership discounts applyper course. The multi-course discount applies only once.
• Syllabus: Syllabus purchases are allowed only for the course for which you are registered. This seems obvious, but just in case, you won't be able to select others. In the event you are waitlisted instead of placed in a course, the syllabus might not be removed from the order. In that event, please exit without paying and let us know to remove it.
• Don't Dawdle. Click "Next" on Page 4 (Summary): Your course requests are not saved in the database until you click "Next" on the "Summary" page.  
• Be decisive: While using "previous" and "next" to go back and review and think is nice, you are losing valuable seconds or even minutes if you are in the early race at 10:00 am. Best advice? Just get the course(s) you want and run! You can always email the registrar to update something, like add a syllabus or a scholarship donation.
• Payment Page: This is the extra communication promised. The answers on this page are firm, saved, in stone, no surprises pending. Your courses are saved, and/or waitlisted if you didn't grab it fast enough. If this page is accurate, just click on PayPal or exit and send a check. If not, please email the registrar for assistance with modifications.
• Still Not Quick Enough? If a course fills between the time you select it on page one of the form and you reach the Payment page, you will be automatically waitlisted at the exact time (to the second) that you clicked "Next" on the Summary page. Remember, that is the magical button. It saves your order to the database. It also saves your waitlist time! And we know on waitlists, seconds can be crucial.
• Yes,  you will be invited to attend some of the SLIG events, and register for SLIG Extended. That information won't be coming until September.

If you need more, there is a step by step guide coming next. But don't waste time reading it as you register. Read it first, then register quickly. It is fairly intuitive. Really!

We hope to "see" you in the Academy.
