CPsquare:Wildapricot account help
From [[http://cpsquare.org CPsquare]], the community of practice on communities of practice.
The "Admin System" on http://admin.cpsquare.org is used for the processes of event registration, new membership registration, membership renewal, and for Paypal payment for events and membership dues. You will use this site only occasionally. It is based on a software platform provided by the Wild Apricot company, and is sometimes referred to as "Wild Apricot," rather than "admin dot cpsquare dot org" for the sake of convenience.
New Membership Registration
New Members should follow these steps:
- From http://admin.cpsquare.org, click the “Join Now” link on the left side of the page.
- Then click the “Online Application” link which should appear below.
- Check the membership level that reflects your circumstances, and click the “Next” button.
- You will see an application form requesting your account information and desired password. This password will only be used at http://admin.cpsquare.org for purposes of account renewal and event registration. Once you have entered the requisite information into the form, click “Submit.”
