To become a member of HOL you must sign up with a proper name, i.e.: A first name and a last name, not including numbers, include spaces between the first and last name, and not the same as a famous person.

Fern Davant is a valid name.
FernDavant is not valid.
FernDavant457 is not valid.
Bob Newhart is not valid.

Next, you must take the entry exam to join HOL. The entry exam is a series of questions which will see how well you’ve read the handbook and how well you understand the procedures and policies of HOL. You can take this as many times as you want, but you must pass it to become eligible for the next step in HOL membership. Access the Handbook at http://hol.org.uk/handbook.php

Once you have passed the entry exam, you can be sorted into one of the four houses of HOL - Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slythern.

After you have been sorted, you will receive a student ID. Then you must signup for the HOL OFFICE at http://www.hol.org.uk/office/office.php. Inside your HOL office you will find important information. This is also where you can sign up for classes, keep track of how many points you have, and see if you have gotten any awards.
