Guardian: Create New Student and Guardian Account

Intended Audience: Guardians

Introduction:

This process outlines how guardians can create an account within our Student Information System (SIS) to enroll their student in a Michigan Virtual online course. Please note that this account creation process is only required for home school enrollments. For more information, refer to the Quick Start Guide.

The Student Learning Portal does not currently allow guardians to associate themselves with an existing student account. If you need to add a student to your account that already has an SLP account, please submit a support ticket with the following information: (1) Guardian/Parent full name, (2) Guardian/Parent email, (3) Guardian/Parent phone number, and (4) Student name(s) to be added to the Guardian/Parent account.

Additionally, guardians can watch the First Time Registration and Enrollment video for further guidance.

1. First, open a browser and navigate to the Student Learning Portal (SLP).
2. Next, tap the New Parent/Guardian Registration button below the Login and Password fields.
   
3. As a result, the Parent/Guardian Enrollment Account Registration page will be displayed.
