How to Get Started
Before enrolling, you will need to have your Medicine Hat Library Card handy. Don’t have a card? Sign up for a free temporary membership, and have access to not only Gale Courses, but all of our online resources.
To enroll, choose a course and click your desired start date. Enter your email address and either create an account (new students) or enter your password to your Gale account (returning students). Enter your library card barcode in the box labeled “Submit” to complete your enrollment. Please note that if you enroll in a course, you must view lessons one and two within 13 days after the start date of the course, or you will be automatically dropped and will need to enroll in the course during a later session.
