How to Register for Webinars

After selecting a webinar topic from the Events page, follow the appropriate registration procedure below.  After successfully registering, you will receive an email from the workshop facilitator with a link to the online session.
  • First time registrants, select Create Profile.
    • Use a personal email address. Organization email addresses are not recommended.
    • Each registrant should create their own profile. Coordinators should refrain from registering for their staff/volunteers.  The College’s web security impedes multiple registrations from the same URL address.
    • After your Profile has been created, you will receive an email from NorQuest with your account info and a one-time Password. Follow instructions to activate your account and change the password.
  • Returning registrants.  If you have previously attended webinars, you will likely have a Username and Password.
    • Make sure all the contact information in your Student Profile is updated. To update your profile, go to MyQuest on the NorQuest home page (see below).
    • Complete the registration with your Username and Password.
