Your district's approval will occur online after you have registered for the course.

An email confirming your approved registration will be sent after your internal approval process is completed electronically.

If your district does not subscribe to MLP, you are required to register as a MLP participant. Registration is free, only has to be done once, and does not obligate you or your district in any way.
