Help! - are you having enrolment issues?

Follow these four useful tips:

  1. Check junk mail - sadly some email providers may treat automated email as spam. 
  2. Check your browser settings ... you may need to trust cookies (or possibly cross-site cookies) from NetAcad
  3. Do not be afraid to try a different email account - if the system isn't working, try another email account - often popular free email accounts work better.
  4. Maybe try a different web browser?
