Upon successful completion, you will receive an email within one business
day that confirms your transcript has been updated and a link to create
your electronic certificate. Provide a copy of this certificate to your FSOIS to register completed courses into AUXDATA.
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: Where do I find my “Username”?
A: Your “Username” is your unique, primary email
address in AUXDATA (the first one shown in your
Member Detail page in the AuxDirectory). It cannot
be the same as used by any other Auxiliarist. Often
shared email addresses occur in family
membership. For the AUXLMS, each member in a
family must have a unique email address.
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: How do I know if I have an account on AUXLMS?
A: Go to http://auxlearning.uscg.mil, read the warning
statement and click thru to the next page. Since this
is your first attempt to log on, you will need a
password. Click on the “I forgot my password”
link. Enter your email address as your “Username.”
If you have an account, your temporary password
will be sent to that email address. If not, it will give
you a message saying “Error. Username not
found.”
41
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: If I don’t have an account, how do I get one?
A: Make sure you are not sharing an email address
with any other Auxiliary Member (Search on your
email in AUXOFFICER). If your email address is
unique, and it didn’t work as your “Username,”
submit a ticket to http://help.cgaux.org. If your
username is not unique, see duplicate email
address question below.
42
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: I have an email address that I share with another
member. What do I do?
A: You or the other member(s) will need to obtain a
new email address and use this email address as
your primary email address with the Auxiliary. This
change can be made via the online 7028 form or by
simply providing this information to your flotilla’s
Information Services Officer (FSO-IS).
43
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: What happens if I change my primary email
address in AUXDATA via the 7028 form? Will I
continue to be able to use AUXLMS?
A: If you change your email address in AUXDATA, the
change might take a week or so before the change
is reflected in AUXLMS. During this period you will
still need to log in via the previous email address
until the new email address (“Username”) is
transferred into AUXLMS.
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: What is the difference between
classroom.cgaux.org and auxlearning.uscg.mil
A: Though both platforms are Learning Management
Systems that allow the Auxiliary to manage your
learning activities, AUXLMS contains USCG Active
Duty content that cannot be transferred outside of
the AUXLMS platform. The “Mandated Training”
courses are on the AUXLMS.
45
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: I have taken a course. How does that information
get to AUXDATA?
A: Each of the Mandated training classes as well as
ICS 210, when successfully completed, will send an
update to AUXDATA. These updates occur once a
week on Mondays. In AUXLMS, you can log on and
click on “My Account” and then “My Transcript”
and see, at any time, the courses that you have
completed. It is these entries that are passed to
AUXDATA.
46
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: I have taken a Coast Guard “Gold” course on the
AUXLMS, why doesn’t it appear in my AUXDATA
Training Record Report?
A: AUXDATA only contains courses/exams that relate
to an Auxiliary qualification or requirement (such as
Mandated Training). The bulk of the Coast Guard
“Gold” courses are optional, and are not recorded
in AUXDATA.
47
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: How do I print out a course completion
certificate for an AUXLMS course?
A: Unlike the National Testing Center (NTC), the
AUXLMS does not provide course completion
certificates. Simply print out your "My
Transcript" (see above) if you should need to
provide proof of completion. If a certificate is
referenced in an AUXLMS course, simply ignore
it.
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: How do I verify that my course completions have
been processed?
A: You can check your course completions two ways
1. Contact your Flotilla IS Officer and have them
review your Training Record Report in AUXDATA
with you.
2. Go to AUXINFO and look for your information
there. (Allow sufficient time for the data to get to
AUXINFO from AUXDATA.)
49
AuxLMS FAQ
Q: I just completed a course, but it says it will "expire"
in a couple months or so. Why would the course
expire?
A: That "expiration" is related to access to the course.
Access to the course will expire in 90 days. If you
complete the course, that "expiration" is
meaningless and should be simply ignored. If you
want to take the course again after 90 days, you will
need to re-enroll. If you've completed your course,
and need proof, print out or download your "My
Transcript" (in the "My Account" page).
50
AuxLMS FAQ
•
Q: My Transcript shows Ethics 1, Sexual Assault, and Sexual
Harassment as "completed" but under Lesson Success it shows
"unknown." What does this mean? That I failed and have to take the
courses again?
•
A: Don't worry. All that matters is that a course is completed, and is
shown on the Transcript. Ignore "Lesson Success" and "Score" on
the transcript. Only course completions (and the source) are sent to
the Auxiliary, no scores or anything else.
When you complete a course on the AUXLMS, a Coast Guard (not
Auxiliary) application, it goes to the AUXLMS Transcript. About a
week later, the transcripts are sent to the Auxiliary's information
system of record, AUXDATA. (Then a week or so later, it's in
AUXINFO.) The AUXLMS transcript, AUXDATA and AUXINFO are
considered the official proof of course completion.
