Parents Forever Online Course for Parents
Registration and Access
You can gain immediate access to this course by following these simple instructions.
Step 1: Ensure that your computer is ready to take the course
To maximize the use of the course, you will need to download Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Reader, and Adobe Flash Player (8.0 or higher) if you do not already have them on your computer. This software is free but will require you to have administrative rights on your computer.
You will also need to disable your pop-up blocker and make sure your audio is working on your computer.
To test if your computer is ready, see Is My Computer Ready to Take the Course?
Step 2: Get judge/attorney pre-approval
Check that your judge/attorney will accept the online version of the course. We are in the process of getting the official approval by the Minnesota Supreme Court. See more information.
Step 3: Register
You will register through the College of Continuing Education online registration system. This system is only compatible with Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer web browsers and does use pop-ups.
Follow the instructions and provide the required information. This registration system will:
- Guide you to create a guest username/password to use for the course. (If you have a UMN x500 username/password, you will be able to skip this step.)
- Collect basic information about you needed by the course instructor.
- Collect your registration fee of $89. (Required as a credit card payment.)
- Give you the link to immediately access the online course after the above steps have been completed.
Need more guidance in registering? See screen captures (627 K PDF) of each registration system page.
Step 4: Access the course
After you have registered, you can access the online course at anytime. Remember, use Mozilla Firefox with the course to maximize course functionality. Once in the course, set your pop-up blocker to allow related course pages so that you can access all course content.
You may wish to save the direct course link in your internet browser favorites. Alternatively, you can go to your MyU page, log it with your username/password, and click on your “my COURSES” tab. This course, in addition to any other UMN online course you have signed up for, will be listed on this web page. (Please note, there may be up to a 12 hour delay from when you register and when the course appears on your MyU course page. You should be able to access the online course immediately however by clicking the direct course link.)
