Next, click Courses on the left menu to browse through our online catalog. When you find classes you want to take, add them to your shopping cart. When all classes are in the shopping cart, you can complete your registration via our secure website. Please see this flyer for detailed information on how to create your profile.

How do I submit my chosen name to CSM?

Please ensure that your profile is created using your legal name. If you wish to include your preferred or chosen name in your profile, please follow the link below to update your information after completing your profile and registering for a class.

After registering for a class, log in to your continuing education portal and navigate to "My Profile." Your Colleague ID is the second item in your profile. When prompted for your Student ID on the form, please enter your 7-digit Colleague ID.

To submit a Change of Name or Pronoun Request, please visit: Change of Name or Pronoun Request (csmd.edu)

When should I register?

We encourage you to register as early as possible, as some classes fill very quickly. Classes lacking a sufficient number of registrations are canceled up to one week prior to the class start date, but not less than 48 hours prior to the start date. Some courses close registration up to a week before the class starts.

How do I know if there is space in a class?

If a class is already filled, it will not appear on the site.

How do I know if a class meets in-person or via computer?

Each class listing includes the instructional method.

Where is my class located?

The location of your class will be listed in the class listing details and on your email confirmation.

How do I log into myCSMD to access my Online class in myLearning?

To access myLearning, please visit my.CSMD.edu. It's important to note that your login credentials for myCSMD are different from those used for the Continuing Education Portal.

If you haven't yet obtained your myCSMD login, you'll need your CSM Colleague ID number. You can find your Colleague ID on the confirmation email received after class registration. Alternatively, you can locate it under "My Profile" in the Continuing Education Portal. Please make sure to use "Colleague ID" and not the number labeled as "Student ID."

Prior to your class starting, follow the instructions on myCSMD to acquire your username and password. Should you need assistance from the CSM help desk, please have your Colleague ID number ready in case the staff requests it.

For further guidance, we have a tutorial available. Additionally, there's a brief YouTube video titled "Getting to know my.CSMD - How do I login?" to assist you.

How will I know if I/my child got into a class?

When you self-register, after completing your credit card payment, your registration is complete and you will receive a class confirmation and transaction receipt via email. If you register by mail and you provide an email address, you will receive an email confirmation and transaction receipt once your registration is processed.

What about class cancellations?

Sometimes classes are cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. You will be notified by email or telephone if your class is canceled and a 100% refund will be issued.

Can I register after a class has started?

Registrations are not permitted after a class has started.

What if my child falls outside the age range for a certain class?

Prior approval must be given from the program coordinator as classes are designed for students within the age ranges that are published.

When do I pay for my class?

Payment is required at the time of registration. When you self-register, payment is by credit card only; we accept MasterCard, VISA and Discover.

Financial assistance is available through the CSM Foundation for all eligible students enrolled in selected workforce training certificates.

What is your refund policy?

Refund policies are outlined on our refund page.

How do I get my Certificate of Completion for a noncredit Workforce Training Certificate?

If you have completed all the required courses in a Workforce Training Certificate Program and would like to receive the certficate, please complete the Application for a Workforce Training Certificate.
