Students should self-enroll in the Module by following the links given here, or from the D2L homepage, right-hand panel under Self-Registration Courses for Staff & Students.

Students successfully completing a Module will receive a Certificate that will be auto-filled with their name, student number, and date so that you may easily verify completion. The electronic certificate can be sent through D2L Dropbox, or printed out by the student.
