How to register your family and start a course - detailed instructions

Step 1 — Create your family account (a parent does this, once)

  1. Click Family Registration in the menu.
  2. Fill in a username, your first and last name, your own email, and a password. You'll manage all your children's accounts from this email.
  3. Click Register. You are now signed in and on your Family Dashboard.

Step 2 — Add your children

  1. On the Family Dashboard, open the Register New Child tab and use the Register Your Child box.
  2. Pick a simple username your child can remember (for example, lucy-smith).
  3. For the email, use your own address with a plus and the child's name: if your email is jakesmith@gmail.com, write jakesmith+lucy@gmail.com. All messages still come to you.
  4. Choose a password your child can manage, and click Register.
  5. Repeat for each child, with a different +name each time. An older student with their own email can be invited with the box on the left instead.

Step 3 — Buy a course

  1. Staying signed in, open Math Courses or Science Courses in the menu.
  2. Open a course, click Add to cart, then go to the cart and check out.
  3. Prices are in Canadian dollars; an itemized receipt arrives by email.

Step 4 — Give the course to your child

  1. Go back to your Family Dashboard (it is in the menu whenever you are signed in as a parent) and open the My Courses tab.
  2. Find the course you bought, select your child from the dropdown, and click Enroll.

Step 5 — Your child starts learning

  1. Your child clicks Sign In and chooses the green Student sign-in button.
  2. They enter their username and password. Their courses are waiting on their dashboard.

Coming back later: click Sign In, choose the purple Parent sign-in, and enter your email and password — you'll land on your Family Dashboard.

I signed in as a parent and then purchased a course. Unfortunately, I failed to first register as a family. How can I fix this?

It is fixable. I can create a parent user and a student user on my side for you and assign the course(s) to the student, and send you login info for you and your student. Let me know the student name and the course you are taking.

 

Hi - I did the same thing. I purchased the first science course for grade 7-9 but it won't let me log in as a parent, but when I try to create the parent it says that the username already exists. Then I can log in as a student, but it says that there are no courses purchased.

Help?

Yes, I can help; will connect with you by email now.
