ProClass

 AIL's new registration platform

The AIL Office is pleased to announce that we will be transitioning from CashNet to ProClass, a new course registration and event & membership management platform, in the coming weeks.


We understand that this platform will be unfamiliar to many, but don't worry! The AIL Office will be offering training sessions to help you get comfortable with the new system.



Keep an eye out for further details on these sessions.


Thank you for your patience as we make this exciting change!
