Overview

Genius CE & Enterprise has introduced a new feature that allows Guardians to create accounts not only for themselves but also on behalf of minors who wish to register as students in a learning initiative. Please note that this feature must be enabled upon request. Please get in touch with your Genius representative for more information on activating this feature today.

Creating Accounts

Once the feature is enabled, users can initiate the account creation process by clicking on the "Create Account" button located on the Public Welcome page of Genius+. This action will direct them to a new screen where they have the option to create either a Parent/Guardian Account or to register themselves as a Student.

Upon selecting the option for a Parent/Guardian Account, the user will be prompted to fill out a form with the necessary information on the subsequent screen that appears. This form is designed to gather essential details that will help us create your account.

After completing the initial form and clicking "Next," the Guardian will be required to provide Student Information for each student they are registering. This step is crucial for ensuring that all necessary details about the students are accurately captured to facilitate their registration.
