SEL University FAQ

Why do I need to create a mySEL account before I register for my first course?

Creating a mySEL account automatically creates a mySELU training plan.

Your mySELU training plan is a record of SEL University training you have purchased. When you purchase an SEL University training course, it is added to your mySELU training plan. While in the mySELU training plan, you can:

View training you have completed and courses in which you are enrolled.
Access online training in which you are enrolled.
View online training completion status.
View your transcript.
