Learner Accounts and Logging In
Prospective learners can create an account at any time.
If this is your first time creating an account, select I am a new learner. This will create temporary account information until you register for a course, at which time you will set up more permanent login information.
If you are a returning learner who has not yet registered for courses and is still using your temporary account information you can log in via the Learner Portal Login.
If you are a returning learner who has previously registered for courses you can log in via the Ohio State Login using your university credentials.
Online Registration and Payment
Many of the courses offered are open enrollment, meaning no admission decision is necessary for you to enroll. However, registration and prerequisite requirements vary by course. See the registration page of your desired course for more information.
You may register online by locating a course on the website and paying with any major credit card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover). Payment is due at the time of registration. You can view the course fees and cost breakdown on the course registration page.
After registering, you’ll receive a registration confirmation/receipt email. Keep your confirmation handy. It provides proof of enrollment in an Ohio State Professional and Continuing Education course. You may receive your confirmation/receipt before you are enrolled in the course as it can take up to 24 hours for enrollment to be complete.
You’ve registered and paid, what’s next?
Enrollments may take up to 24 hours to complete. In addition to the registration confirmation email, if your course is in Canvas (the learning management system where course content or materials may be provided), you will receive two emails. The first will ask you to create a password and the second will confirm your enrollment in the Canvas course. Learn more about Canvas.
Unenroll in a Course
If you’ve registered for a course but can no longer participate, you may be able to request a refund. Learn more about the refund policy in the Terms and Conditions.
