Registration is closed for the Fall 2025 course and we are no longer taking names for the waiting list. Registration for the Winter/Spring 2026 term will open on December 1, 2025. There is no waiting list for the next term.
Course materials and a syllabus with all due dates will be available to registrants by August 19. The first assignment is due by September 8 and the final assignment is due by October 17.
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 August 19. 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 August 11.
