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 Uplimit:
Tech Requirements
Students may be required to download software to complete coursework as part of this program and should have access to a personal computer in order to download and access the required software. This software may not be downloadable or accessible on an employer-issued computer.
Uplimit requires reliable access to a computer that allows you to use Zoom for Uplimit programs in order to complete coursework. Access to Slack is also highly recommended, but not required, to access the course community. Please make sure that you have the required tech necessary to successfully participate in the program.
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 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 — Confirm Your Spot
Once your Guild application is approved, you'll need to confirm your spot in Uplimit's program for the next start date.
Log in to your Guild account and visit your Applications page to confirm your spot, then either Uplimit or Guild will reach out to you with next steps.
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.
If you have previous education outside of the U.S. (i.e., foreign credentials), there aren't extra requirements to complete at Uplimit.
On your start date, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to create your student account at Uplimit. If you do not receive this email on your start date, make sure to check your spam folder and then reach out to Uplimit using guild@uplimit.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 Uplimit. Using different information may result in delays for your start at Uplimit.
After you create your student account, you will be automatically enrolled in core courses within your track by the Uplimit team. They will also send you a Zoom invite to an learner orientation call to help you navigate the Uplimit platform and answer any questions you have before your first course begins.
3 — Enroll in Courses
Make sure you create an account and accept Uplimit Terms and Conditions by the 14th day of your start month in order to stay enrolled in your program at Uplimit. Failure to do so will result in you being automatically dropped from the program and prevent you from continuing.
4 — Chat with Your Guild Growth Coach for Support
Once you've successfully activated your Uplimit account, 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 Uplimit.
5 — Complete Your Coursework at Uplimit
Your Guild support network, along with your Uplimit 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 Uplimit (guild@uplimit.com) with any questions you may have!
