Congratulations!
Congrats on taking the first steps towards your education goals. Have you received your approval email from Guild? If not, don’t worry, you should receive an email within seven days of submitting your Guild application.
If you have received your Guild approval email, double congratulations! Here are your next steps for becoming a Guild student at STC:
1 — Make Sure You’re Eligible
Check to make sure you're eligible for your company's education benefit, right up to the first day of your courses. Go to the Guild home page and check your eligibility status in the upper right-hand corner. For more information about eligibility, contact Guild support.
2 — Create Your STC Student Account - DO NOT do this until your start date
On your start date, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to create your student account at STC. If you do not receive this email on your start date, make sure to check your spam folder and then reach out to STC using info@stcusa.com. Remember: do not create this account before your start date, or your tuition might not be covered by your employer.
Please be sure to use the same name, email address, and other personal information you used on your Guild application when creating your student account at STC. Using different information may result in delays for your start at STC.
After you create your student account, you'll be able to schedule your classes (if applicable), or your classes may automatically populate. This depends on your program, so please follow the directions provided by STC to make sure you can access your coursework.
3 - Enroll and Collect Your Materials
Make sure you enroll and collect your materials by the 14th day of your cohort start month in order to stay enrolled in your program at STC. Failure to do so may result in you being automatically dropped from the program or prevent you from continuing.
4 - Chat with Your Guild Growth Coach for Support
Once you've enrolled and collected your materials, you'll have a chance to talk with your Guild Growth Coach. This is the time to discuss your education and career aspirations, ask questions, and set goals for completing your program at STC.
5 - Complete Your Coursework at STC
Your Guild support network, along with your STC support team, will be there to offer guidance and support throughout your program. Don't hesitate to reach out to Guild Support for help or STC info@stcusa.com with any questions you may have!
