New Users: How to Set Up the C&C App
PURPOSE:
In this article, new admin-level users will learn the steps needed to successfully complete the C&C App setup!
TABLE OF CONTENTS
STEP 1: WELCOME EMAIL
After placing your C&C App order, an account will be created for you within 3 business days (using the email that was used when purchasing the app). You will receive a welcome email asking you to set up a password for your new account.
STEP 2: SETUP GUIDE
Once you have set a new password, you will be automatically signed into the app. You will be greeted with our setup guide to guide you through the steps for how to get started.
NOTE: If the setup guide is not showing up, click Setup Guide to go to this screen.
STEP 3: SETUP SCHOOL CALENDAR(S)
The first step to complete is setting up your school calendar(s). To ensure proper data calculations, each organization must be linked to a calendar.
Each of your schools may share the same calendar.
Your district or organization may also have multiple calendars (Example: Elementary, Middle School, Alternative School, High School).
You can edit the calendar name, start date, and school days.
See How to Create a Calendar for a step-by-step guide.
STEP 4: ADD SCHOOLS OR ORGANIZATIONS
Next, you will need to add your schools or organizations. The C&C App requires a two-tier organization set up for all accounts (even if you only purchased 1 license).
The first “New Organization” that was created for your account should be for your district or organization (this was already created for you and will not have students assigned).
The next “New Organization” to create for your App account should be a school or site where your mentors will add students and enter data
Each school or site created under your district or organization will use one of your available licenses.
NOTE: See How to Add a New School or Organization if you would like additional information on this step.
STEP 5: ADD USERS
The next step is to add users. In this step, you will create additional users for the staff who will be supporting Check & Connect implementation at your site.
You have the option to add admins and/or mentors who each have different rights and levels of access as a C&C App user.
Admin: Manage the organization’s account setup and oversees implementation data.
Mentor: Manage and enter student data.
NOTE: For additional guidance, please see How to Add an Admin and/or How to Add a Mentor.
STEP 6: ADD COURSES
Lastly, you will have the option to add courses for your students at your site.
Admin-level users will create and manage the course catalog for your account.
Mentors will then be able to enroll students in the courses set up in your account.
NOTE: For additional support, please see How to Add A New Course.
