A Cohort Code is a 5-digit alphanumeric code generated and assigned to the cohorts created by your institution. Using the cohort code makes enrolling in the correct course very easy. If you are a new student, you can enter the code while creating your account, or if you are an existing student, you can use it when clicking the Enroll tile on the dashboard.
Note: The Cohort Code is different from an Access Card/Access Code. Access Cards/Codes are used to pay fees for your cohort enrollment, while the Cohort Code simply helps you locate the cohort you should be enrolling in.
