3. Fill in the required student details on the “Add a Student to Wyzant” form. Clicking Create Student will generate the student’s account and show you a confirmation message.

View of "Add a Student to Wyzant" page. 

Highlighted options on that page are the "program" and "advocate" dropdowns. Image includes the note 'Select the "program" or general subject area where the student needs help. You will be able to edit this later from the student record if necessary.'

Also, there is a note along with the "Advocate(s)" dropdown. It says "Your name will be auto-filled as an Advocate. You can add more Advocates as well."

4. At this point the student’s account has been created, but you still need to schedule a session to complete the process and make sure students are able to connect with tutors as soon as possible. To do this click the student’s name on the confirmation page.
