How to Register for Courses and Access Resources on The Heritage Institute (hol.edu)

Updated

The Heritage Institute (hol.edu) is a professional development provider for K-12 educators, offering 100+ courses through workshops, field studies, and online/continuing education classes. To register, you can either create an account on the site or use the mail-in registration form; once registered, you can access transcripts, lesson templates, FAQ, and other resources. The steps below cover account setup, course selection, and resource access based on what the site itself provides.

Creating an Account or Logging In

The site uses a standard account system to unlock features like your wishlist and cart.

  1. Click Log In (or the sign-in prompt).
  2. Enter your email address and submit.
  3. If the system recognizes your email, enter your password to continue. If you've forgotten it, use Forgot Password?
  4. If the system does not recognize your email, you can register with that email and a password of your choice, or try another email you may have used.

Expected result: You're signed in and can add courses to your wishlist or cart.

Common snag: If you see a message that your email "has been moved to another account," the site will prompt you to log in with a different address. This typically means the email is already tied to an existing account under another login.

Choosing and Registering for a Course

Courses are organized under Courses, with filters for All, New, Featured, and Live Workshops. Each course listing shows a course number, clock/PDU/CEU hours, and pricing.

Registration paths available on the site:

  • Online — add to cart and check out after logging in.
  • Mail in Registration Form — listed under both the main navigation and Resources.
  • Group Collaboration — a separate option for group enrollments.
  • Create Your Own — for custom course arrangements.
  • Credit for School Inservices — for inservice credit.

Expected result: You're enrolled in your chosen course at either the clock-hour/PDU/CEU rate or the credit rate.

Common snag: Note that the clock-hour price and the credit price are separate — choosing credit costs more. Confirm which one you need before checkout.

  • Transcript Resources — for retrieving your records.
  • Mail in Registration Form — if you prefer offline enrollment.
  • Lesson Template — a downloadable template for coursework.
  • Challenging Students — a resource page.
  • Credit for School Inservices — guidance on inservice credit.
  • Blog — articles and updates.

Contact information is also available via the site for support questions.

Expected result: You can pull transcripts, download templates, and find answers to common policy questions without contacting support.
