Find Courses

Our course list is always growing! Courses you enroll in can be found on your dashboard.

Enroll in a Course

When you find a course, click on it to be taken to the course registration page. Here you can find information on the course. Click on the Enroll button, then choose to go on the audit track or pursue a Statement of Accomplishment

Please keep in mind that many UC San Diego Online courses can be taken for free! You can upgrade to earn a Statement of Accomplishment while auditing a course. Please refer to the Upgrade Deadline section on the right side of the course outline page to know how long you have to upgrade.

Pursue a Statement of Accomplishment

Any Statement of Accomplishment you earn is a great achievement. If you have successfully completed a course and earned the Statement of Accomplishment, congratulations! A link to your Statement of Accomplishment will appear on your dashboard and you may view it from there.

Please explore the rest of our help articles to help answer any other questions you may have.
