Most of our products will be set up as 'Student Only' products which means they can only be viewed or purchased if your Online Store account is linked to a student's record.

To link a student to your Online Store account after registering, follow these steps:

 

Please note, the verification code is sent to the student. If you are a parent/guardian please make sure your young person has access to their emails to provide you with this code.

 

Step 1) Click on My Account and click Link to Student Record.

Step 2) Enter the student's ID number and date of birth and click Next.

If the details match our system, a verification code will be sent to the personal email address we have on file for the student.

Step 3) Enter the code and click Submit.

You should now be able to view the products available to purchase for that student.

 

I need to link more than one student to my Online Store account.

If you need to purchase items for more than one student, you will need to link all of those students to your Online Store account. You will need to do this one by one. To link the student's follow the steps listed above. To check which students are already linked to your account or to link another student go to My Account and click Linked Students.

If you are purchasing items for more than one student, you will need to do so in separate transactions. This is because the products are linked to each student individually.
