When you register for a course you should receive an email to confirm your registration. Some people, however, have not received an email. This may be due to a number of reasons which we cannot control. We suggest checking your spam/junk file. Please note, you can always check on your enrollment status by logging into your Kean fire safety account and clicking on the “Current Listings” button that is on your profile page. The next page that appears will show all the classes in which you’re currently enrolled. If you need to withdraw, you can easily click the box next to the class and then click the withdraw button at the top of the page. Please note, withdrawal should be made at least 3 business days in advance of the class date in order for the updated roster to be used in attendance. We no longer mail a physical confirmation card for class registration.
