Details About Enrolling in Online Workshops in the Festival 

To enroll in online workshops, go to the ISWF Online Workshops Storefront in UI Learn/Canvas Catalog.  Each course has a listing with complete details, including the dates, course description, instructor bio, registration fees, and the date enrollment for the course opens. When enrollment for the course has opened, an "enroll" button will appear with the course. Click the enroll button! If you don't have an account in Canvas already, you'll be prompted to create one (you will use this same account if you take other courses later). You will then be directed to enter your payment information.

For online courses in the Festival, this is the only method to enroll. We're not able to enroll you by phone on this particular platform.
