Registration
No action is required for SEEMiS schools as Scholar registration is done automatically. If your MIS information is up to date, your staff and students will have a valid Scholar account from June onwards. Scholar will notify the Scholar Contact at your school by email when these are available in June. Please contact the Scholar Contact at school in the first instance regarding access to Scholar as they will most likely be able to assist you.
If you are not in a SEEMiS school, please see the Registering with Scholar section or contact the Scholar Contact at your school or college.
