For enrollment to be open for a cohort, at least one class must be added to either Platinum Planner or Testing, and the cohort must be published. Publishing a cohort also triggers the email to be sent to our education team for audit if an audit applies to your cohort (All AEMT and Paramedic cohorts and the first couple of cohorts created for any profession of a new school).
After your cohort is created, you can enable Platinum Planner before or after students have enrolled; however, the above applies only when the cohort is open for enrollment.
Note: Payment has to be made for students to have access.
Enabling Platinum Planner:
1. Begin by editing the cohort through the main Platinumed Dashboard:
- Once logged in, stay on the main dashboard.
- Click the dropdown for the grey and black tile Manage Cohorts.
- Locate the cohort and click edit under the Actions column.
2. Select the tab Platinum Planner (not enabled).
3. Click the long green button to Enable Platinum Planner.
4. Click the drop-down How would you like to proceed? and select the option you would prefer.
5. Click the drop-down Select a cohort, and select the best option. This may cause class options to appear.
Note: If you are creating a Paramedic cohort and choose to clone an AppG cohort, you will see a warning asking if you would like to proceed. Click Cancel if you would like to switch to the SMC23 template.
6. If class options appear, check the box for the classes you would like to have brought into this cohort and rename them.
7. Save when finished. This will enable Platinum Planner and the Edit Cohort Platinum Planner page to appear. You can make any additional changes to the cohort or class you would like from the defaulted settings. At this point, you will be able to add students to Planner.

B. Publishing a Cohort
A cohort can be published after it has been created, a platform enabled, and at least one class added. Students cannot enroll in a cohort until it has been published.
1. If the cohort is not already published, begin by editing it (this can only be done by admins and cohort admins).
-
Click the Manage Cohorts tile on the dashboard.
- Under Actions, click edit for the cohort you would like to publish. The draft cohorts will be bright yellow.
2. Click the red Publish button in the upper right corner of the page.
