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.
If you have previous education outside of the U.S. (i.e., foreign credentials), there aren't extra requirements to complete at Simplilearn.

If you do not receive this email within the first week of your start month, make sure to check your spam folder and then reach out to Simplilearn using Guildsupport@simplilearn.net. 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 Simplilearn. Using different information may result in delays for your start at Simplilearn.
After you create your student account, your classes will automatically populate. This may depend on your program, so please follow the directions provided by Simplilearn to ensure you can access your coursework.
