Submit your application, (www.ucumberlands.edu/apply). Once a decision has been made, you will receive an email a decision has been posted to your application. You must review the decision and accept by logging into the Patriot Portal before you are eligible to register for courses. After you accept your offer of admittance, you will receive an email with your UC email, temporary password, and instructions to verify your identity. After completing identity verification, wait about 30 minutes before trying to log in. Once the account is locked from too many attempts to log in, it must be unlocked by the IT department.
Your UC email and password is the credentials you will use to access iLearn, which is where all online course work is posted as well as the OREN 110 module all new students must complete. You will also use your UC email and password to access UC One, where you can view your transcript, pay your bill, view grades, purchase parking pass, check your account balance, etc. Below is the link to view training videos in iLearn navigation.

Dual credit students can’t self-register. Upon admittance, holds are placed on student accounts to prevent this. All registration goes through our office. If you are wanting to take a class taught at your high school, (if available) contact your guidance counselor to be added to the roster. If you wish to take an online course, you can email me at jada.walden@ucumberlands.edu for a list of available classes. Once you choose your course, send me your request and upon registration, you will get an email from me with your schedule.
Students are limited to 12 hours per semester. If you are enrolled in a course at your high school, this counts toward your total hours.
Students who are enrolled in online courses will not immediately see the courses in iLearn. The upcoming term can take several hours to integrate and appear in your schedule. Bi-term II courses will not appear until 2 weeks before the start date. (See Dual Credit Calendar for start and end dates) Trying to log in too soon can result in locking your account. If this happens, IT will have to reset.
All new students are required to complete the OREN 110 module. You will be registered for this with your first class. It is a “click to accept terms” and only takes a few minutes. There is no charge or credit. You must complete before you are eligible to register for any additional classes.
As a junior or senior, Kentucky students have the opportunity to have two (4) classes covered as a junior and senior, two each year. KHEAA award determinations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Once registered, the high school will submit request for the student’s term preference, either fall or spring. Seniors receive priority consideration in the award order.
