Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ

Drupal training is a self-paced online course covering everything you need to edit your department's website.

How Training Works

Training runs through a Canvas course that takes about 90 minutes to two hours, and you can spread it across as many sittings as you like. It covers Drupal Basics, with optional Drupal Advanced modules that unlock once Basics is complete. 

There is no set time limit on the course, but please try to finish within a week, as we only have a set number of training groups available for the hands-on exercises.

All hands-on practice happens in a private training environment, and at the end you'll submit your practice site for review. Live editing access follows approval. For questions before registering, submit a Web Support ticket.

Student Employees

Student employees (undergraduate, and sometimes graduate) may need a separate _stu@kent.edu email account before they can be granted editing access. The sign-ins in step 1 below are the test: if you can log in at both sites with your regular Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State account, you don't need one; if you get an error, you do. 

An authorized department sponsor must by selecting Create Student Employee Account from the Create Accounts option in the top menu. Once it exists, use your _stu account for both sign-ins and enter it as your email on the form.

Course Access for Trained Editors

If you've already completed Drupal training in the past and want to revisit the Basics modules or explore the Advanced modules, you don't need to register again. Request access to the Canvas course instead.

Please note, by only requesting access to the Canvas course, you will not be given a training group in cmsstraining for the hands-on exercises. 

How to Register

1. Log in once at and once at www.kent.edu/user. Logging in is what creates your Drupal accounts, and you can't be added to a training group without it.
2. Complete the registration form below.
3. Watch your email. Once we process your registration, you'll be added to a training group and the Canvas course and receive an email with everything you need, within 1-2 business days.
