Slate.org can help you manage your students in many ways. This article describes how to use Slate.org to do some of them, such as inviting students to Slate.org, communicating with them, and updating their records.
Inviting Students to Slate.org
Counselors can invite students to create a Slate.org account. The Students section of Slate.org provides a listing of students whose information has been either shared by colleges and universities or entered manually. The account status column indicates if a student has a Slate.org student account. If one of your students does not have an active Slate.org account, you can invite them to join.

Invitation Communications
A Slate.org student account invitation cannot be sent more than once in a 24 hour period. Up to three reminders can be sent within a 7-day window.
Invitation Process Example
When an email communication is sent to a student who does not have an existing Slate.org account:
The student receives an invitation to register by clicking a link that opens the Slate.org website. | |
When the student clicks the link, they are directed to a prefilled account-creation form that includes their information. |

Once the student creates an account, they can manage their profile and see the active counselors in Slate.org. |

Important!
Academic profile data can only be updated by a student's secondary school counselor. If you have an independent counselor or CBO counselor account and a student has granted you access to their record, the student's academic information will be in read-only format.
