Registration is now closed for the Winter/Spring 2026 term, and we are no longer taking names for a waiting list. Registration for the Fall 2026 term will open on July 2, 2026, and there is no waiting list for future terms.
Course materials and a syllabus with all due dates will be available to registrants by January 27. The first assignment is due by February 17 and the final assignment is due by March 27.
Please note:
- Attendance is required. Please confirm you are available for all classes prior to registering.
- The schedule for this offering of MAP Unit 1 is accelerated to enable the completion of two units via Zoom format within one term. If you prefer a schedule with assignment deadlines spaced out over a longer period, please choose the correspondence format.
- MAP is an academic program. If you are unfamiliar with the program's expectations, please review the "Course Descriptions & Outlines" section of the MAP web page prior to registering.
Textbook
The course textbook is provided as a PDF file to all registrants. The file will be available in AMCTO Connect once the course opens for access by January 27. However, AMCTO provides the option to purchase a hard copy of the textbook with an additional fee, and the book is shipped through Canada Post's Xpresspost. You'll have an opportunity to purchase the hard copy textbook through the online registration process. Due to logistics, textbook shipping may not start until after registration closes on January 12.
