Enrollment in a cohort takes a few steps. Students start by creating their accounts within our system and verifying their email. After that, enrollment requests can be sent to the school. Followed by payment.
A. Creating a Student Account
1. On the main login page (https://my.platinumed.com/login), click the button create student account. It is located below the primary login box.
2. Fill out the required information. Ensure you are using a valid email. All information for this cohort will be sent to that email. There are 2 optional fields: Reference ID and Cohort code.
- Reference ID: This is where you can enter your student ID or employee number if required by your school.
-
Cohort Code: This is a 5-digit alphanumerical code that can be provided to you by your school. Utilizing this field will automatically submit an enrollment request for the corresponding cohort once you have verified your email. This helps you skip steps in the enrollment process.
3. Verify your email. An email will be sent to the email address you provided to confirm your email. If you do not see the email in your main inbox, check spam and other folders. If after 15 minutes you still have not received your verification email, reach out to Platinum Support for assistance.
B. Enrolling in a Cohort
Note: If you entered a cohort code when creating your account, your request will automatically be sent and you can skip down to step 5 of this section.
1. Login and agree to the terms and conditions.
2. Click the Enroll tile.
3. There are 2 ways to search for your cohort. School name and cohort name or with a cohortcode.
-
School Name and Cohort Name:
- Click the Select a school dropdown. Locate your school and click it.
- Next click the dropdown for Select a cohort. Locate the cohort and select it.
-
Cohort Code: This is a 5-digit alphanumerical code given to you by the school.
- Click the blue box Click here if you have been given a Cohort Code from your school.
- Enter the cohort code into the Cohort Code box and click Lookup.
Note: If you do not see your cohort listed or your cohort is not coming up when looking up the code, check the info given to you by your school and try again. If you are unable to find your cohort, contact your school. Do NOT enroll in the incorrect cohort on purpose. This will only cause issues for you and your instructor.
4. Submit your enrollment request.
5. You will see the pending enrollment message once your request is sent. Once your school processes your request, you will receive an email.
Note: Platinum Educational Group has no part in the enrollment process of schools. If your enrollment request has been pending for a long time and you are concerned, contact your school.
C. Making a Payment
Note: Not all students are required to make a payment. Some schools pay for their students' access. If that is the case, then payment will not be required, and you will be able to access your student roles as soon as your enrollment is accepted by the school.
1. Click Complete My Registration. The pay screen will pop up.
2. Checkbox the platform(s) you are paying for now (if applicable).
3. Put in payment information. You can pay with an access card/code, credit card, or combination.
- Access Card or Code: Enter the access card number into the Access Card Number box and click Lookup. The amount of credit on the card will be displayed. If you have multiple access cards, enter the next one and click lookup. If a remainder is owed, you can pay it with a credit card.
-
Credit Card: Enter your credit card info. If you use only a credit card and not an access code, just leave the Access Card Number box blank.
4. Submit payment. Once payment is accepted, you will have access to your student roles.
