How to join a course on OPEN UMass Amherst
Access to courses is by invitation only. The instructor of the course will send you an enrollment key code.
1. To create an account, log in.
If you are a member of the UMass Amherst community, log in using your NetID and password. Others may log in using a Google account.
On your first login, carefully follow the onscreen instructions to set up your user profile.
2. Enroll in your Moodle course.
Your instructor will send you an "enrollment key." Once you've logged in and set up your account, click on the course name and enter the key code. You'll only need to do this once.
