How is enrollment managed?
Online, at your convenience. The LOD Class Registration Portal is an enrollment management system which allows broad access to participation in, and tracking of, learning opportunities for WVU people leaders and staff. This platform is a way for you to self-manage your training needs to help you reach your professional growth goals.
The LOD Class Registration Portal allows you to do the following:
- browse a full list of class offerings,
- enroll in the topics that interest you most,
- add your name to a waiting list (for classes that have already filled up),
- print proof-of-completion certificates,
- view your completed class transcript and more.
How do I enroll for a class?
Browse the portal for class offerings. When you find the class that interests you, you will “Add to Your Cart” (there is no fee to take LOD classes). Once you are registered, you will need to mark it on your calendar.
- For Live Webinars: Once you are registered for a live webinar, you will receive a Zoom link via email two days prior to the class. You may then use the Zoom feature to add class dates/times to your Outlook calendar through the Zoom link.
- For In-Person Classes: You must add the class date/time to your calendar yourself.
- For eLearning: Available to be taken immediately upon registration for the class and can be taken up to 30 days from your registration confirmation. You must manually schedule a time on your calendar to help remind you to take the eLearning. You will receive a reminder 2 weeks prior to expiration date.
Will I receive confirmation of classes for which I enroll?
Yes, you will receive a system-generated email confirmation and a reminder one-week prior to the class.
If a class is full, can I be placed on a waiting list?
If a class is already filled, there will be a “Waiting List” button rather than an “Add to Cart” button to the right of the class listing. If you choose to be placed on a waiting list and a spot becomes available, you will receive a notification that a spot is available and you may then register for the class on a first come, first serve basis.
How do I unenroll from a class?
If you cannot make this class as planned, unenroll at least 48 hours in advance so that your spot can be released to another learner on the waiting list for this class. To unenroll:
- Scroll down the menu on the left side and select "Unenroll”.
- Click the "Drop Class" button - If the "Drop Class" button is not available, contact lod@mail.wvu.edu.
- Click the blue "Cancel Registration" button.
- Successful "Cancel Registration Transaction(s) Completed" will appear in green box at the top of your "My Dashboard".
When I complete a class, is there anything I can print to show that I completed it?
Yes, you may print proof of completion certificates upon finishing all requirements of a class.
How can I print a transcript of the classes that I have taken?
Sign in and select “My Profile” from the left menu bar and then select the “My Transcript” tab. Click “Schedule Print View” located above class information. Your transcript will open in a new tab and then right click and print the page as a paper copy or save as a PDF for an electronic copy.
Why would I need to update my profile?
The LOD Class Registration Portal is not tied to any WVU systems and will not be updated by any other WVU system if you have a change in jobs, job titles, colleges or divisions, campuses, etc. To ensure the information in the LOD Class Registration Portal reflects your most current job title and information, it is recommended that you update your profile anytime you have a change.
How do I update my profile?
You may edit or update your profile at any time. Access the link on the left menu bar entitled "My Profile". We recommend that you edit your profile by carefully reading through all three steps of the profile process. Once you have reviewed the information for accuracy and completed all required fields, click the Submit button.
