Intended Audience: Guardians
About
This guide outlines how guardians can create both a Student Learning Portal (SLP) account for themselves and a corresponding student account to enroll a child in a Michigan Virtual online course. This process is required for homeschool enrollments only.
The SLP does not currently allow guardians to link to existing student accounts. If a student already has an SLP account, guardians must submit a support ticket including: Guardian Full Name, Email Address, Phone Number and Student Full Name. For additional help, refer to the Quick Start Guide or view the First-Time Registration and Enrollment video tutorial.
