Once you're in...

Once you've successfully registered and logged into the course, follow the instructions you'll see on the course "Welcome Page". Don't worry about completing everything that's assigned—if you're spending more than 20 minutes, just stop. We just want to give you a taste of the student experience. And if you experience an issue at any point, don't worry about it. We'll walk through everything at the NSM.

See you soon!
