Get Prepared
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 7 to 10 business days of submitting your Guild application.
If you have received your approval email, double congratulations! Here are your next steps to completing your program through Emory Continuing Education:
1 — Confirm your spot
Once your Guild application is approved, you'll need to confirm your spot in Emory Continuing Education’s program for the next start date. Log in to your Guild account and visit your Applications page to confirm your spot, then Emory Continuing Education will reach out to you with next steps on the first business day of the month you are starting.
Be sure to confirm your spot by the 29th day of the month before your start date, or February 27, if the start date is in March, or you will have to start in a later term. For example, if your enrollment month is January, you must confirm your enrollment by December 29th.
If you don't confirm your spot by the 29th day, your start date will automatically update to the next start date available (up to 90 days out). You should be able to view your new start date and confirm your spot for the new start date within your Guild portal. If you don't confirm your spot for the updated start date, you will need to re-apply.
2 — Understand the process
Review the steps that are required for you to receive your tuition assistance. Tuition assistance is the word that we use to describe the portion of your tuition that’s covered by your employer. In other words, it’s the “benefit” that you receive when you enroll in a qualified program.
If you have previous education outside of the U.S. (i.e., foreign credentials), there aren't extra requirements to complete at Emory Continuing Education.
3 — Connect with Emory Continuing Education on the first business day of the month
On the first business day of your start month, you will receive a welcome email from Emory Continuing Education with information on getting started. This email should arrive by 8pm Eastern Time. If you do not receive an email or have any questions, please email guild-enrollments@pathstream.com. You will need to log in to your first course within 14 days of its start date in order to confirm your participation in the program and stay on track. You may also choose to Drop this program within 14 days. Watch this 2-minute video to learn more about what to expect.
4 — Keep in touch with your Guild Growth Coach
Soon after you’ve enrolled, you should receive an email introducing you to your Guild Growth Coach. Here are some examples of how your Guild Growth Coach can support you:
Goal setting
Career exploration
Challenging and shifting perspectives
Accountability and responsibility
Navigating obstacles
Self-discovery
Creating a schedule to help with balancing multiple priorities
