You will have two gatherings each week with students in your area, one for your academic course and one for your religion course (Institute). Choose the time and location of your gatherings by going to “Academics” then “Gatherings.”
Register for Courses
Make sure all holds are cleared first. Then register for courses by going to “Academics” then “Class Schedule.” Register soon to secure your spot!
