New Statewide AEA Professional Learning Registration System Launching!


Heartland AEA is pleased to introduce the new statewide AEA Professional Learning Registration System to you!

As you’ve heard, this system is a one-stop shop to register for all the professional learning activities available through all nine of Iowa’s AEAs and AEA Learning Online. As Heartland AEA transitions to this new system, we will be running two catalogs for a short time: a Spring Catalog and a Summer Catalog. After summer, all courses will be listed in the AEA Professional Learning Registration System.
  • Courses beginning prior to June 1, 2019, are listed in our Spring Catalog in the Universal Registration System (old Heartland AEA system).
  • Courses beginning after June 1, 2019, can be found in the Summer Catalog in the new AEA Professional Learning Registration System.
Logging In
Your AEA Login is the same email and password you use to log into the AEA Learning System (e.g. Mandatory Reporter, Bloodborne Pathogens). Once you are logged in, click on the Courses tab to search the catalog.

Online Payment Options
  • Visa or MasterCard
  • Purchase Order issued by an Iowa school district
  • Split payment: a portion of the fee is paid with a purchase order (school district) and the remainder is paid with a credit card (participant)
Transcripts

  • Transcripts for courses starting after June 1, 2019, will be available in the statewide system when the course has ended.
  • Transcripts for courses that started prior to June 1, 2019, will be available for you to download from our former registration system until Fall 2019.
  • After the historical data has been transferred to the statewide system, your complete transcript will be available.

New Statewide Refund Policy:To receive a full refund, you must withdraw at least eight calendar days before the first day of class. After that, there will be no refunds. To withdraw from a course, click on the withdrawal icon next to the course under “My Courses.” If there are extenuating circumstances, contact the sponsoring AEA’s Professional Learning Office.

If you have any questions about registering in the new system, contact the Professional Learning Department.
