Add Student and Guardian Accounts

Intended Audience: Guardians

Introduction:

To enroll a student in a Michigan Virtual online course, a guardian will be required to create an account within our Student Information System (SIS). This process describes how to utilize the Student Learning Portal (SLP) to create the account. Guardians can also watch the First Time Registration and Enrollment video of this process below.

Currently, the Student Learning Portal does not allow guardians to associate themselves to an existing student account. If you need to add a student to your account, please submit a ticket and include the following information: (1) Guardian/Parent Full Name, (2) Guardian/Parent Email, (3) Guardian/Parent Phone Number, (4) Student Name(s) to Add to Guardian/Parent Account.

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.
