Invitation Enrollment

The Invitation enrollment process will assist Chapter Advisors with large enrollment groups by streamlining payment options and allowing students to enter their own profile information. This is an additional enrollment process. It will not replace the existing "Classic" enrollment process, which requires Chapter Advisors to enter the student’s profile information.

Process

Chapter Advisors will

• Create an enrollment period with a start and end date.
• Choose who will receive an invitation to join during the enrollment period.
• Determine how enrollment fees are collected (Chapter Pay or Member Pay).

Invited members will

• Receive an email invitation from the Chapter Advisor.
• Provide and update their profile information.
• Pay their enrollment fees (if Member Pay was selected by Chapter Advisor).
