Step 3: Enter the requested information to request access and click the “Register” button.
- Note 1: If the captcha doesnt work, you must “Try another code” as the currently displayed code is nullified on error.
- Note 2: If the page errors when you click the “Register” button, it probably went through. Theres a bug in the portal software that were working on. If youd like to try re-registering, thats fine but it will probably result in “username already exists”.
Step 4: Accounts are manually validated and you will not be able to log on until a CMTC administrator manually validates your account. This is normally done same business day but could take longer on holidays or if you register late in the business day. Email info@cmtc.com if it seems to be taking too long. Accounts are manually vetted by CMTC site admins. We know most of you already so “hello” to our current friends, and “nice to meet you” to newcomers!
