You can get to all of the seminar lessons, help pages, discussion groups, downloads (extras) and resources through this page.

Where is my free credit report and FICO Score?
You will receive explicit instructions on how to get your credit report and FICO score at the end of Lesson 1, on Monday.
How do I use the discussion boards?
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of discussion boards, we have a number of resources to help you ease right into it! During the seminar we use the discussion boards to ask questions, get advice and work on different problems with the support of other students.
Right now, we have two discussion boards open for you to begin posting on. The first is the Practice Board. The practice board is there for people unfamiliar with discussion boards to go in, kick the tires, experiment with posting, and basically play around with the board without the fear of "doing something wrong."
Additionally, we have opened the FICO Cafe, which is a place for you to introduce yourselves and mingle. Throughout the seminar, if a subject comes up that's not related to or appropriate for one of the focused lesson boards, feel free to post it on the FICO Cafe board instead.
As the seminar progresses, we'll add a new board with each new lesson, providing you a very focused and on-topic place to ask questions and share comments about the particular lesson in question. You can always access the FICO "uber" boards page to see all of the boards currently in circulation.
