Overview
The account creation process allows guardians to establish a new family account in the Customer Portal. Depending on Portal settings, email validation may be required before continuing. Once guardian information and contact details are entered, families complete setup by reviewing and accepting policies.
NOTE: Visitors will only be allowed to create an account via the Customer Portal if "Allow visitors to create new accounts online” is enabled under SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>GENERAL SETTINGS>”General Options.”
Starting the Account Creation Process
- From the Customer Portal Dashboard, select Create Account.
- If email validation is required, enter the email address you wish to use to log into your account.
- NOTE: The primary guardian’s email address must be unique and cannot already exist as the primary contact email address for any other family.
