How do I register?

UC San Diego Online courses are open to a global community of learners that satisfy the requirements specified in the Terms of Use. All you need is access to a computer with a current browser, an Internet connection and, of course, a desire to learn.

To begin, please register for a UC San Diego Online account.

If you are a current matriculated student at UCSD, or you are a current UCSD Faculty or Staff member, you can use UCSD Single Sign On to create your account.

All other learners will need to: 

• Enter your email address
• Enter your full name
  Your full name will appear on any Statements of Accomplishment that you earn.
• Create a public username for the forums (cannot have spaces).
  Note: You cannot change your username once it has been created.
• Create a password
• Select Create Account

Registering for a UC San Diego Online account is completely free! You can also take courses for free, or you can choose to pay a fee and pursue a Statement of Accomplishment.

When you find a course that interests you, you can enroll in the course by clicking the Enroll button on the course About page.
