Joining the class forum
Once you have registered for an online class you have the option of joining the class forum where you can post questions, photos and interact with other students and the instructor.  You will find the Three Creative Studios online forums here:

http://threecreativestudios.com/forum/

In order to participate in the online class forums you will need to register with the site.  Registration is free and easy and will give you the ability to reply to and create new topics and post photos and questions.   When you log into the forum you will find a "user control panel" link in the upper left of the board index page.  Click that link and you will see a "usergroups" tab.   Here you will find the Three Creative Studios online class groups.   Select the class forum that you would like to be added to and press the submit button.  Once we have verified your registration in that class your membership will be approved.  If your forum user name is different than the name on the Paypal account that you used to pay for the class with, then you will need to email your instructor to let them know.  They will verify your registration for the class and approve your request to join the class forum.

If you do not get an approval notification for the forum membership for the class you have requested access to within 24 hours, please email the instructor to let them know.
