Course registration for all our courses closes 15 days prior to the course due to the fact that we have to order materials in advance of the class and some classes have prerequisite logistics.
Registration is found in the REPORTER system. You must create an account in the Brickyard or use your previously created account to register for our classes. Please do not create new accounts if your email has changed. Reach out to us at iesregistration@ncsu.edu to update your login email if you no longer have access to the email your REPORTER account was created with.
If you are registering someone else for our courses, you must login as yourself in the REPORTER registration system and then add the person as “Other” in the cart. You will need the following information unique to that person to register them: email, phone number, address, company, and title. Please do not register yourself to hold a place for someone else.
