Q. What can I do with this process that I could not do before?
A. You can now register yourself and groups online for workshops held at Kettunen Center and Kellogg Biological Station, if you wish. If you are in the ACCESS 4-H Enrollment Database (because you are a registered 4-H member or volunteer), your registration will auto populate with your profile information. Even if you are not a 4-H member or volunteer, you can register and pay for a 4-H workshop. Using this online system, you can also pay by credit card.
Q. Will I be able to register for events other than workshops held at Kettunen Center and Kellogg Biological Station?
A. In 2012-13, only 4-H workshops held at Kettunen Center and Kellogg Biological Station will be managed by this new system. Future state-level events will be added to the system in 2013 and beyond.
Q. Can I still register through my county Extension office?
A. Absolutely; you may still register at your county office as you have done in the past
Q. Do I have to pay by credit card now?
A. No; if do not wish to pay by credit card, your local Extension office will still accept payments.
Q. How do I enter the system?
A. If you are a registered 4-H member or volunteer, you will be in the ACCESS 4-H Enrollment Database and the system will ask you to log in with your OpenID and password.
Q. What if I don't know my OpenID or my password?
A. You will need to contact the 4-H program coordinator in your local county Extension office for this information. He or she will reset your password. Once your password has been reset, you will get an email from the ACCESS 4-H Online Enrollment System with notification of your new password. You will also have an opportunity to change your password at that time.
Q. What if a friend or relative who isn't a 4-H member or a 4-H volunteer wants to register using the new system?
A. Nonmembers and 4-H affiliates (such as parents and 4-H supporters) can also use the new self-registration system by clicking on the same URL address. A blank registration template will appear for individuals who are not in the database. The same payment options will be available for these individuals. The major difference is they will need to type in more information.
Q. How will I know about upcoming events?
A. Announcements for upcoming workshops will be included in each edition of Michigan 4-H Today as well as communications from your county. These announcements will include the URL for each workshop. The page address will end in the word "/splash." When you click on the URL, it will take you to the workshop description and - if the workshop is open for registration - you will be able to register immediately.
Q. How far ahead of time can I register for a workshop?
A. Workshops begin accepting registrations about 2 months before they are held. So be sure to check the opening banner on the workshops you are interested in attending to see when you can begin registering. If registration is not open yet, you will still be able to click on the "splash" link to see a description of the event and there will be a message announcing when registration will be open for the workshop you are interested.

local county Extension office. He or she can either provide you with that information or create one for you if your account has not yet been established. Each 4-H member and 4-H volunteer who has been entered in the ACCESS 4-H Online Enrollment System should already have an OpenID but if you haven't used it, you may need to have your password reset. Again, contact the 4-H program coordinator in your local county Extension office for this information. Once your password has been reset, you will get an email from the ACCESS 4-H Online Enrollment System with notification of your new password. You will also have an opportunity to change your password at that time.
