04 Student Portal
The Student Portal can be accessed through the Home page.
This part of the portal is private and secured, so only students with a login can access it.
Users will be directed to a SmartV Login page that allows them to verify their login by a record in Salesforce.
The user continues to log in using their email address, and a verification code is sent to that address to ensure the correct person is entering the student portal.
This verification code forms part of the Student Portal's login process. SmartV login lets you link personal or relevant details to an end user for the portal.
For example, once students are logged in, they can view or update their personal information, check their courses and grades, and see, cancel, or sign up for extra activities.
1. Click Personal Info to view and update a student's details.
2. Click on Courses and Grades to view students' grades for their various enrolled courses.
3. Click on Student Activities to see a student's activities.
4. Sign up for an extra activity by clicking the Sign Me Up! button.
5. To cancel an activity, click on My Activities and then select the Not Interested button.
