Quick Start Guide - School Account and Admin

Overview: This guide will take you quickly through the basics of setting up your school's new Umety account.  

Activate Your Admin Account

You should have received an activation email from Umety inviting you to manage your school's account.

Clicking the Accept Invitation button will take you to app.umety.com and prompt you to create a username and password for your School Admin account.   

Set Up Your School

Go to app.umety.com to log in. Select your school by name, then sign in with the credentials you just created.  
 

Set up the current School Year 


  • Click School Year in the top navigation menu.
  • A school year should have been created for you, named Current Year. 
  • Click the three dot menu to the right and then Edit.
  • Change the name and dates to match your school's information.

    • Add some students and teachers

    You can import your users from a CSV file, users can sign up for accounts on their own with a code you provide them, or if you would just like to get started with a single student and teacher, you can create users individually.
    1. Click User Management at the top, Add User to the right, and then choose Create User.  
    2. Fill out the form for a teacher user.  An email address is required for a teacher, and they will have to accept an invitation sent via email to activate their account.
    3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create a student user.  An email address is optional for a student.  If left blank, the student will be created without having to accept an invitation.  
    Tip: If your students will be logging in to VR headsets, we recommend making their usernames short and simple as they will have to type them in using an on-screen keyboard. 

    That's it!  You can now log in to these accounts, explore the Umety Classroom Platform and set up VR headsets if you are using them.
