Introduction

The CESEI website consists of three public and private portals. Education, Research and Health Care.

The public portals are viewed by a general audience and can be seen when one first visits the CESEI website. In contrast, the private portals contain content that is only accessible to CESEI members. The private section of the Education portal is where our Learning Management System (LMS) resides. A login name and password are required to enter and enroll but not to browse the modules offered by CESEI.

Membership Registration

Accessing the Membership Page

In order for students and educators to access our LMS or research grant authoring tools, they must become CESEI members first. To do this, select "Memberships" from the CESEI portal menu, once on the membership page, click on "Apply for a Staff/Student Membership" (or in the case of some educators, "Apply for an Honorary Membership"). This will bring you to the Registration page which contains our application form.

Entering Personal Information

An application form is displayed on the registration page which asks you to enter a login name, password, as well as some basic personal information. Click on "Apply" after the required information has been entered.

If applying for a Staff or Student membership please make sure you select the correct membership type (Staff or Student) at the end of the form.

On this form users will also specify which portal(s) they would like to join as well as the status they which to have. (for example one may join the Education portal as a student or an instructor)

Confirmation

A thank-you message will appear once the form has been submitted, as well a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided.

Please note: You will NOT be able to use your account immediately as your application will need to be reviewed by the CESEI web administrator for verification and validation.

A second email will be sent to you when your account is activated.
