What is the Student Learning Portal (SLP)?
The Michigan Virtual Student Learning Portal (SLP) is a student information system (SIS) used for managing a range of student-related tasks. These include course registration, grading documentation, attendance tracking, and messaging. It is important to note that the SLP is not a learning management system (LMS); it does not host course content, assignments, or assessments.
How can an Affiliation User check for an existing SLP account?
Affiliation Users uncertain whether they have an active SLP account may attempt to log in using their email address. If the password is incorrect, selecting the “Forgot my password” option will prompt a reset process. For login difficulties or confirmation of account status, the Customer Care Center can provide assistance.
Note: Students and mentors who require a new account should contact their assigned Affiliation User.
How are user accounts created in the SLP?
Affiliation Users have the ability to create accounts for students, mentors, or other Affiliation Users. Each account must include a valid email address, which serves as the login username. When a student account is created, a corresponding guardian account is generated automatically. After a course enrollment, an email with setup instructions is sent to the guardian to ensure they can monitor student progress.
How is a single student enrolled in a course?
To enroll one student, an Affiliation User should navigate to the student’s profile within the SLP and follow the steps outlined in the Enroll Student in Course article.
How are multiple students enrolled in a single course?
The SLP includes a bulk enrollment feature that allows Affiliation Users to enroll multiple students into the same course. Detailed steps can be found in the Enroll Multiple Students in a Single Course article.
How can a mentor be assigned to a student?
Mentors can be assigned or reassigned to students by following the procedures in the Associate Student to Mentor article. This process is managed within the SLP.
How can student progress be monitored?
Affiliation Users can monitor student grades and progress without accessing the LMS. By visiting the View Student Information section and selecting the appropriate options in the Enrollment tab, users can review student performance data directly within the SLP.
When is the last day to enroll students in a course?
The Michigan Virtual Enrollment Calendar lists an “Enrollment End” date for each academic term. This date marks the final opportunity to register students for that term.
When is the last day to drop a course for a refund?
The “Drop for Refund End” column in the Michigan Virtual Enrollment Calendar identifies the final date to drop a student and still receive a refund. While students may be dropped at any time, no refunds will be granted after this deadline.
Affiliation Users may remove a student from a course by following the instructions in the Drop Students from Course article. It is strongly recommended that users consult the Michigan Virtual Drop Policy and Enrollment Calendar before proceeding, particularly to determine refund eligibility.
How can Affiliation Users confirm current or successful student enrollments?
To verify active or completed enrollments, follow the procedures in the Locate Current/Successful Enrollments article found in the knowledge base.
How can students missing a mentor be identified?
Assigning a local mentor is essential for student success and is a requirement of the Michigan Department of Education’s Pupil Accounting Manual (PAM). Students without an assigned mentor can be identified using several tools within the SLP.
If a mentor is not manually assigned within 48 hours of enrollment, the system will automatically assign the Affiliation User who enrolled the student as their mentor.
