Online Registration

​​​

​Below are the steps to register for the CVEC Society lectures. If you plan to follow them, it is recommended that you read them all first.

1. Click this Amilia online registration link.

   • The first time in you may see a message on the bottom​ about cookies for the Amilia site. Click 'Accept all' to continue.

2. From the list of lectures, register for a lecture using the 'Register for session' link.

   • Click 'View activity details' to see more information about the session: description, location, spots still available, etc.​

3. If you are not logged in with an Amilia account, you will be shown an Amilia login screen.

   • If you already have an account:

     • ​Enter your ID (your email address) and password. Continue with step 4 below.

   • If you do not have an account:

     • On the bottom of the screen, click 'Accept all cookies'.

     • Click the 'Sign up' link below the Log in button to create your new Amilia account. 

     • Enter your first name, last name, and your email address​ (which will eventually be your Amilia login ID). Then create your new Amilia account's password (this is *not* related to your email account password).

     • Click 'Create account' button to advance to the email confirmation screen.

     • Check your email for the Amilia confirmation email (may be in spam/junk), and transcribe the confirmation code to the Amilia email confirmation screen, and click 'Verify'. You will receive a 'Verified and Continue' screen.

     • You will be asked if your new Amilia account can be shared with the Comox Valley ElderCollege Society organization. Click 'Accept'.

     • Continue with step 4 below.

4. In the pop-up participant selection screen, click the 'person+' icon beside your name to be added to the session. It will flip to a green square with a checkmark to indicate the session is in your shopping cart.

   • If it's your first registration ever, below the blue box telling you to click the person+ icon you'll see your name with two one-time, first-time issues: a grey box to the left of your name, and a ‘More info required’ message to the right.

     • Click the 'More info required' message to pop up a screen to add and save your birthdate.

     • The grey box to the left will now be a blue person+ icon to click on to add yourself to the session.

   • If it's your first registration for a new membership year (June 30 to July 1), there will be a pop up message asking you to accept the automatic inclusion of a annual Society membership. Click 'Accept'.

   • If you want to remove the session from your shopping cart, click the green box with the checkmark, and it will revert to the blue person+ icon.

5. After you have added yourself to the session, either ‘Continue shopping’ to choose another session, or ‘Checkout’ to move to payment.

   • NOTE: ​Once you add the first item to your 'Cart', you have 30 minutes to select any other sessions and complete the shopping cart process, and eventually your purchase. Until that time expires, your registration selections will have your seat reserved so that others can’t snatch it away from you.

6. Once you choose 'Checkout', there will be address information collected (first time) or presented to verify.

7. During payment you will need to provide your credit card information. Click 'Pay now' to proceed.

   • There is a 'Save card...' option so you don't have to re-enter the credit card information next time. It's good practice for all sites that you do not save a credit card to avoid potential data breach consequences.​

8. A purchase confirmation will be displayed with the option to print. You will also receive emails with each registered session, and the purchase confirmation.
