How to Enroll

Registration is now open for training year 2010.
Enrolling in a course is a four-part process:
Enrollment steps
- Find a course that is open for enrollment and click the course's "Register" button.
- Complete the on-screen forms to hold a seat in the course, print out the confirmation page and mail it with your $20 registration fee.
- Receive e-mail confirmation from the Motorcycle Safety Education Program that your registration has been finalized.
- Meet the Attendance Requirements.
To find a course, click the Select a Course link and click one of the course site locations. The page will then display all courses being offered at the site. If there is a confirmed or standby seat available in the course, a "Register" button will appear for that course. Click the button for the course you desire to start the registration process.
Warning! You can register for only one course. During peak enrollment times, courses fill quickly. A course may fill while you're looking at a page. If this happens, you will be able to return to the course selection page to select a different course.
To hold a seat, you will be asked to provide information about yourself, including your driver's license. The driver's license number you use to register for a course MUST be the same you present on the day of the course. If it isn't, you will NOT be allowed to attend the course. If you haven't already registered for a course and you provide all required information, the course enrollment will be saved for you for a period of 10 days. You must submit a printed copy of the registration confirmation (from either the web display or the e-mail that will be sent to you) AND a valid registration fee within that period or your enrollment will be abandoned.
Important: Be sure to complete your on-line forms in a timely manner. To make sure that everyone has a fair chance to get a course, incomplete registrations will be released 15 minutes after a seat is first put on hold.
E-mail confirmation: You must provide a valid e-mail address when you register for a course. Be sure to use an e-mail account that will be valid throughout the training season and one that you check on a regular basis. This e-mail account will be used to send your initial registration notification and all subsequent notifications, reminders and course announcements, as needed. If you don't have an e-mail account, you can obtain a free account from several sources. Here's a review that lists 12 free e-mail accounts. The Yahoo free e-mail service is very popular and easy to use. Click here for simple instructions.
Registration Fee:
Each student's completed registration must be accompanied by a valid $20 (per person) refundable
registration fee made payable to Illinois State University. A separate check or money order
of $20 must accompany each registration. When payments are combined and one application is rejected, all will be rejected. Send materials/payment to:
Illinois State University, 5221 Motorcycle Safety, Normal, IL 61790-5221
Cancellations and Refunds
- Office staff cannot transfer you from one course to another. If you have a confirmed spot in a course and find you cannot attend, send a request via e-mail to mcsafety@ilstu.edu to cancel the registration. After you receive notification that your registration has been canceled, you will be able to use this online registration site to try to reschedule.
- Cancellations must be made at least 7 days before your course is scheduled to begin to be eligible for a refund.
- Standby students who are present for the first class session but do not get into class due to class size limitations, must contact our office immediately to arrange for a refund. The registration fee cannot be transferred between Regional Training centers, between individuals, or from one training season to another.
- Students attending a course will be able to request a refund or make a donation at the end of the course.
- Refunds are processed ONLY to the student enrolled and will be issued from Illinois State University. Please allow 8 weeks for processing.
