Below is a list of frequently asked questions about the Michigan Virtual Student Learning Portal (SLP) that Affiliation Users can use to find answers:
What is the Student Learning Portal?
The Michigan Virtual Student Learning Portal (SLP) is a student information system (SIS) that provides various capabilities for managing student-related data needs, such as registering students in courses, documenting grading, tracking attendance, and messaging. However, it should not be mistaken for a learning management system or virtual learning environment where course materials, assignments, and assessments can be electronically published.
Do I have an account?
If you are uncertain whether you have a Student Learning Portal (SLP) account, you can try logging in using your email address. In case of an incorrect password, you can select the "Forgot my password" link. If you encounter difficulties, you can seek assistance from the Customer Care Center. Students and mentors who require a new account should contact their Affiliation User.
How can I create user accounts?
Affiliation Users can create unique student, mentor, or another affiliation user accounts in the SLP. Each user must have a valid email address, which will also serve as their username to access the portal. After creating a student account, the system will automatically generate a guardian account. Upon course enrollment, the system sends an email message to the guardian with account setup instructions. These accounts are designed to keep guardians informed of student progress.
How do I enroll a single student into a course?
To enroll a student in a course, an Affiliation User can access the student's profile on the Student Learning Portal and follow the steps provided in the Enroll Student in Course article.
How do I enroll multiple students into a course?
To enroll multiple students in a single course, an Affiliation User can access the bulk enroll feature available in the Student Learning Portal. Please refer to the instructions provided in the Enroll Multiple Students in a Single Course article for guidance.
How do I assign a mentor to a student?
By following the steps outlined in the Associate Student to Mentor article, a mentor can be quickly assigned or added to a student's account in the Student Learning Portal.
How do I check student progress?
You can check a student's course grades and assignments within the Student Learning Portal without the need to access the Learning Management System (LMS). Simply go to the View Student Information page and select the relevant options within the Enrollment section on the left-hand menu.
When is the last day to enroll in a course?

When is the last day to drop a course?
For each term, the Michigan Virtual Enrollment Calendar exhibits a "Drop for Refund End" column. The date shown in this column signifies the deadline for dropping students and obtaining a refund. While a student can be dropped from a course anytime, no refund will be given if the drop for refund end date has already passed.
How can I drop a student from a course?
By following the instructions provided in the Drop Students from Course article, an Affiliation User can remove a student from their course. It is recommended that Affiliation Users review both the Michigan Virtual Drop Policy and the Enrollment Calendar for the last date on which refunds will be issued.

How do I find students missing an assigned mentor?
Identifying a local mentor is not only crucial to a student's academic achievement, but it is also mandated by the Michigan Department of Education's (MDE) Pupil Accounting Manual. There are various methods to locate students who do not have an assigned mentor. It is worth noting that if a mentor is not assigned within 48 hours of enrollment, the system will automatically assign the enroller as the mentor.
