Frequently Asked Questions

          • How do I register for a Course?

            Registration for continuing education courses at Loyola University Maryland is available online by using the online course catalog. Prior to enrolling in a continuing education course, students are encouraged to review all registration information.

            Questions about specific courses or programs should be directed to the aspire@loyola.edu. Questions will be addressed on weekdays, 9 am-5 pm EST when the university is in session. So, please take into account that it may take up to 72 hours to receive a reply if you send an email on the weekend or during a holiday.

          • What accreditation and certification is associated with ASPIRE content?

            All content found on the ASPIRE storefront awards non-credit, continuing education units (CEUs). Very few select courses provide academic credit. All of the materials are approved by Loyola University Maryland as evidence of professional study and a record will be kept at the university of learner progress within the ASPIRE office. Loyola ASPIRE follows the IACET standards for the quality of continuing education, and a significant number of courses are available for IACET CEUs. Each course will offer a CEU certificate which will state all accreditations and certifications that are earned upon completion of the content. For further questions about certifications for individual courses please refer to the course description or contact the ASPIRE office. Participants are encouraged to contact their organizations and jurisdictions in advance to ensure the material provided and the certificates offered will satisfy certification or regulatory compliance.

          • Who do I contact if I have an issue with payment of billing?

            Send an email to aspire@loyola.edu describing your issue. Please be sure to include the course name(s), description of the issue, date of the transaction, and payment amount.

          • What payment options does ASPIRE accept?

          • How can I receive a refund?

            You may request a refund up to 5 days from the purchase date. The registration fee will only be refunded if less than 10% of the course has been completed.

             

            All refund requests should be made in writing and sent to aspire@loyola.edu.

          • How do I register multiple people or someone other than myself for a course?

            Send us an email at aspire@loyola.edu with the name of the course, and the names and email addresses of the participants you would like to register and we will help set up the registrations.

          • How do I access my courses after I register?

            You can access your ASPIRE course content on the ASPIRE Moodle website. Log in with the user name and password you created at checkout. There will be a link to the ASPIRE Moodle website in your purchase confirmation email.

          • What should I do if a course is not showing up on the ASPIRE Moodle website?

            There could be several reasons as to why this is happening.  If the course has multiple start dates, it may not have started.  It could also be a problem with your payment or with the ASPIRE Moodle system.  Please click on the link below to enter a support request.

          • What should I do if my password is not working?

            The fastest and easiest way to solve this issue is to click on the "Forgotten your username or password" link to the right of the login prompt on the ASPIRE Moodle login page.  From there, you can either search by username or by email address.  An email with instructions on how to create a new password will be sent to the email address on record.  If you do not receive that email within 5 minutes, please check your Junk/Spam folders and/or try again.  If that does not solve the issue, click on the link below to enter a support request.
