Scenario:

1. What is the difference between a Family Account and a Student Account?


Solution:

Family/Parent Accounts and Student Accounts share many of the same features. However, there are two major differences between them: what Tabs they have access to and what Students they have access to.



First, as you can see in the example above, the Family/Parent Account has access to tabs for Enrollment/Re-enrollment as well as Online Billing, while the Student Account does not.


Second, if a family has multiple students enrolled in the school, then the Family/Parent Account will be able to switch between siblings without having to log out and log back in.



Note: The examples listed above are always true for Family 1 accounts. However, Family 2 accounts do not always have access to the same features as Family 1 accounts. To learn more about the difference between Family 1 and Family 2 Accounts, please click here.
