Scheduling For Student Success
On March 9, MMS users gathered in Harrisburg PA for our Scheduling for Student Success conference. Many aspects of scheduling were covered during the two-day event. One benefit of attending such a conference is the opportunity to network with other school administrators who are focused on one topic. Attendees ranged in experience from beginners to those who have used MMS to schedule for many years. It was wonderful to see people jump in to answer a question or to share how they use scheduling tools in MMS. Computer Resources plans to hold two scheduling conferences in 2017. Look for the announcement soon. We hope to see you there!

Webinar Subscription FAQs:
How can I register for a MMS Training Webinar?
Visit the webinar registration calendar on our website.
How much does it cost to attend a MMS training webinar?
When you have a MMS Unlimited Webinar Subscription, you may attend MMS webinars at absolutely no additional cost. Without a MMS Unlimited Webinar Subscription, there is a charge for each connection. MMS Unlimited Webinar Subscriptions start at $900 per year.
If I have a MMS Unlimited Webinar Subscription, what should I do when the website displays a fee when I register?
Because of your special status, this can simply be ignored. Whenever you register for a MMS training webinar, we will ensure that your subscription is valid. If so, we send you connection details by email to confirm your registration. If you have a subscription, you would have received an email entitled, “Unlimited Webinar Subscription Credentials,” that contains your username and password information. |
