# How to Register on Your LMS From the Course Discovery Site?
### Overview
**Summary:** To create a student account, click **Register** or **Sign Up** on the site header (or click **Enroll Now** on a course page), complete the registration form, and verify your email address. Your account is active as soon as you click the activation link.
When a new student wants to join your platform, their journey begins on the Discovery Site. Clicking any registration or enrollment call-to-action redirects them to a unified signup form. Completing this form creates their student account across the platform, including the LMS and the e-commerce checkout.
**Tip:** If you are an administrator testing this workflow, make sure to open an **incognito web browser window** so your active admin login session does not interfere with the student signup page.
### How to Register: Step-by-Step
#### Step 1: Trigger the Signup Interface From the Catalog
Prospective learners can enter the enrollment gateway through two primary paths on your storefront:
- **Global Registration:** Click the **Register** or **Sign Up** action button located in the top-right corner of your main navigation header menu bar.
- **Course-Specific Enrollment:** Browse the course catalog, open a course page, and click the **Enroll Now** or **Purchase Course** button.
#### Step 2: Complete the Master Profile Form
The storefront dynamically redirects the user to the platform's centralized creation form layout. The learner must input their foundational identity and security attributes:
- **Email Address:** This serves as the primary system-wide cryptographic tracking identifier. It must be a valid, unique address to receive course deadlines, certificates, and password resets.
- **Full Name:** The user's official legal or academic name. *Note: The system text string entered here maps directly onto automated PDF course certificates upon graduation.*
- **Public Username:** A unique alphanumeric identifier (e.g., `janedoe2026`) used to track progress logs and identify the student across inline course discussion boards. This string cannot contain spaces or special symbols.
- **Password:** A secure password you will use to log in on future visits. Choose a strong password using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- **Demographic Profile Data:** (Optional, depending on your institutional settings) Select your country of residence, preferred language dialect, and highest level of education completed.
#### Step 3: Accept Terms and Finalize Account Creation
1. Review the data inputs for accuracy.
2. Check the checkbox to agree to your institution's **Terms of Service** and **Honor Code**.
3. Click the primary **Create Account** button situated at the base of the form canvas.
The server compiles the account rows instantly. The platform generates their unique profile space and immediately routes the learner into their secure personal student dashboard.
### Step 4: Verify Your Email Address
To protect platform integrity and prevent spam profile generation, the user account is initially placed in a restricted staging tier.
1. The platform database automatically sends an automated transaction message to the student's registered email address.
2. The learner must open their email application, locate the verification message, and click the unique **Activation Link** inside the message body.
3. Clicking this link fully activates your account, removes any pending verification notices, and enables course certificates and forum posting.
**Didn't receive the email?** Check your spam or junk folder. If it's not there, return to the login page and select **Resend Verification Email** to request a new link. Note that activation links expire after 24 hours. If you continue to have trouble receiving the verification email, contact your platform administrator for manual account activation.
### Key Troubleshooting and Administrative Controls
- **Handling Duplicate Account Flags:** If the email address or username you enter is already associated with an existing account, an error message will appear. You must either use a different email address or username, or recover access to your existing account by selecting **Forgot Password** on the login page.
- **Automated Roster Provisioning:** If the student triggers the registration flow by clicking a course-specific enrollment button, the system does not just create an account, it automatically triggers an enrollment line item. The moment the signup form submission clears validation, the user is automatically added to that specific course run's student roster inside the LMS player workspace.
