Awesome, i’m excited! I signed up the other day. I’ve never done a class like this before, so this will be a really interesting experience.

I registered for the course last night using my PayPal account. But when I try to access the course online, I am prompted for my login username and password. The thing is, I was never asked to create a username/password when I registered for the course. So now I am unsure how to access the course.
