Setting up Student Account

Career Staff may want a student account to be able to test or have a complete student experience. The instructions below guide you through the process of setting up a student account that links with a career staff account.

Navigate to Students – Manage
Select New Student

Enter First name and Last name.
Be sure the box is checked to Exclude From Automatic Syncs

The user will receive an email confirmation and request to set their password. Be sure the user uses the same login credentials as their Career Staff account so the accounts will link and the user will be able to use the User Switcher.
