OIT Training Registration

New! Google Apps classes have been moved to this page and are available in April!

Please note that due to budget cuts in OIT, we will not be offering OIT software workshops (general computers, Adobe, MS Office) until after Summer quarter.

D2L workshops and Google training are still being offered.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please check back after Summer quarter!

About the Workshops

Workshops are offered throughout the academic year by the Office of Information Technology (OIT) and are available to PSU faculty, staff, and students at no cost.

What's New

Welcome to the OIT Training Schedule! OIT is excited to offer online registration for our training workshops, including our general computer, software, and Google classes.  A few of the new things you will find are quick and easy online registration, instant email confirmation upon registration, status updates if you have been wait-listed, and a class counter that shows you how many seats are still available in any given class.  On the back end, instructors will have the ability to quickly contact the class list about reminders or other information as well as help us to improve our statistics collection so that we can offer even more sessions of the most popular classes.  Please note that you no longer need to contact HR to register for classes.

Registrants will receive an email letting them know if they have a confirmed place in the class or if they have been placed on a waiting list for each workshop registration. Workshops can be copied to your PDX Google calendar by clicking the "Copy event to my calendar" link in the calendar list below next to the workshop you have already registered for. Please note that you no longer need to contact HR to register for classes.

Availability

Each class has a different number of seats available due to the capacity of the room being used. To see if a class is full, please view the Seats Remaining Class Counter above - it will list the number of available openings for each class. If you sign up for a workshop that is fully booked, you will be waitlisted, and seats will open up if others cancel.

Waitlisting

If you sign up for a class that is fully booked, you will be waitlisted, and seats will open up if others cancel. Please review your registration email to see if you have a confirmed place in class or have been placed on a waiting list.

Cancellation

If you are unable to attend the workshop you have registered for, please cancel so that those on the waiting list may attend.  To cancel a registration, please email oit-training@pdx.edu with the workshop information and your name.  Please note that you no longer need to contact HR to register to register or cancel classes.

Classes may also be cancelled due to low enrollment, defined by fewer than 5 registrants.  Cancellations are normally done at least 1 business day in advance.  For Google, Tuesday sessions are normally cancelled the week prior.

Training Locations

The training sessions are normally held in either Broadway 225 or in the  Neuberger Hall instructional computer labs cluster (4th floor).  These labs are adjacent to each other.  The exact room # will be specified in the training calendar and in the reminder email.  Check the Training Calendar (above) session details for more information - click on the title of the class, and it will expand to show additional information (time, title, location, etc).

Neuberger Hall labs:

1. Enter Neuberger Hall
2. Take the elevator to the 4th floor
3. Exit the elevator, walk to the extreme opposite end of the hall and turn left into the ICC lobby area
4. You must enter the labs through this lobby
