Click the link in the ``New users'' box. This is highlighted in the following picture.

Once you click this link, it'll bring you to a new user registration screen, displayed as follows:

Here comes the important part. Make sure you read the following guidelines!

Username: use anything that is not potentially offensive to others. However, I suggest that you use a name that you can remember. The college now has a policy that the student number should not be used as account/user names.
Password: again, use anything that you wish. Again, make sure you remember it.
Email Address (and Email (again)): don't use a fake email address. Moodle sends a message to this account, and you need that message to confirm your registration. You can, however, use practically any email accounts. I suggest that you whitelist all messages from www.someprofs.org with you email account. Otherwise, it is possible that Moodle messages may be misclassified as junk.
Firstname/Surname: Firstname is also known as ``given name'', and surname is also known as ``family name'' or ``lastname''. Make sure you use the same name as the one on official record. Otherwise, an instructor cannot enter your grade into the official grade sheet.
City/town: this should be optional, but Moodle insists on having something here. You don't have to use your actual city. ``Somewhere'' suffices.

After you enter everything, and press the button labeled ``Create my new account'', make sure you see the following screen:

Of course, the smudged out area should display your email message.
