# 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 course catalog. 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 learning management system (LMS) and 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: Access the Registration Form
Prospective learners can enter the enrollment gateway through two primary paths on your storefront:
- **Global registration:** Click **Register** or **Sign Up** in the top-right corner of the navigation header.
- **Course-specific enrollment:** Browse the course catalog, open a course page, and click **Enroll Now** or **Purchase Course**.
### Step 2: What information do I need to complete the registration form?
The platform takes you to the account creation form. Fill in the following fields:
- **Email address:** Your email address identifies your account and is used for course notifications, certificates, and password resets. It must be valid and unique.
- **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 name (for example, `janedoe123`) that identifies you in course discussion boards. Usernames cannot contain spaces or special characters.
- **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 information** (optional, depending on your platform settings): Select your country, preferred language, and highest level of education. This information helps personalize your learning experience.
#### 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.
Your account is created immediately and you are taken to your student dashboard.
### Step 4: How do I verify my email address?
After submitting the form, you will receive a verification email. You must verify your email address before you can access all platform features.
1. The platform sends a verification email to the address you provided.
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 a set period — if your link has expired, return to the login page and select **Resend Verification Email** to request a new one. If you continue to have trouble receiving the verification email, contact your platform administrator for manual account activation.
## Troubleshooting
### Duplicate email or username
If the email address or username you enter is already in use, an error message will appear. Use a different email address or username, or recover access to your existing account by selecting **Forgot Password** on the login page.
### Automatic course enrollment
If you register by clicking a course-specific **Enroll Now** or **Purchase Course** button, you are automatically enrolled in that course as soon as your account is created. No separate enrollment step is required.
