# Joining Your Skill Sprint

UCD Professional Academy will register you on our LMS (Learning Management System) so you can access your learning materials for your course.

You will receive a separate email from **professional.academy@learn.ucdpa.ie** with the subject line: "New User Account". Please be aware this email may occasionally land in a learner’s junk/spam inbox. You will receive your LMS login details by email within 24 working hours of signing up for the course. This email contains the link to the LMS, your username and a temporary password, which you will be prompted to change when you log in for the first time.

If you have previously taken a course with us, you will not receive new login details by email; simply log into your existing LMS account at [**https://learn.ucdpa.ie/**](https://learn.ucdpa.ie/).

If you are experiencing difficulty logging into your classes or into the LMS, the Operations Team is available to assist you via [**this form**](https://knowledge.ucdpa.ie/help-centre/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en-ie).

You will have the option to interact with your your peers with any questions you may have. The Peer Discussion Board allows you to engage with those who are undertaking this Skill Sprint at the same time. Please note that the discussion board is not regularly moderated by UCD Professional Academy staff, so we ask all participants to help maintain a welcoming and professional environment.
