How Students Verify Your Account

1.Once a student registers, they are taken to a page notifying them that a verification email has been sent to the email they registered with

2.The student should receive an email allowing them to verify their account

NOTE:
If the student is not receiving the email there are a couple reasons for this:

• The email got sent to their spam/junk or another folder (eg. Promotions) instead of their inbox
• The student’s email domain is not in Hour Republic’s safelist.
• A strict firewall has been setup for the student’s email address so the email was blocked
  If a student is having trouble receiving the verification email, please see section B) regarding how teachers can verify accounts

3. Once the student clicks the Verify Email Address button they will either be logged into their account or prompted to login and can now readily access their account. Keep in mind, a student can only login when their account has been verified

B) How Teachers can Verify Student Accounts

1.Teachers can verify student accounts by going to the  section

2. Unverified student accounts are set to a Pending status instead of the usual Active. To find the student, teachers need to ensure the Status Filter (which is set to Active by default) is set to  or 

3.The Status column can be used to help identify any Pending students. Once a Pending student has been located, click on their name                      

4.Click the Edit Student Profile icon  and make sure the General tab is selected

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the  button which will set the student’s status to Active and give them access to their account

6. After the account has been verified, the student can log in and be taken to their dashboard where they can begin logging their hours. Click Hours in the left-hand panel to get started.
