# Add a Student

This process shows you how to add a student to your school.

A student is a person who can be converted from a lead, or they can be set up as a student directly.

**Students must have a membership assigned to assign their syllabus before they can check in to classes.**

Since AXIS can only use a user email once, there is a slightly different process for students who are under 18 to adult students.

**Here's how to add an adult student...**

1.Navigate to  **User Management**.  
2\. Click on **Add Student** button.  
3\. Enter student information **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Email Address**.  
  
Note: While all fields are important for record-keeping, they are not mandatory, and when the student gets sent the verification email, they can fill in the remaining information if they choose to.  
  
4\. Click **Save.**  
  
Note: If you're adding several students at once, you can choose Save & Add More to streamline the process without returning to the main list each time.

Note: As soon as a student is added with an email, they will be sent an account verification email. This is so they can sign the legal documents, and be ready to have a membership assigned (they may have already signed the legal documents if they were converted from a lead).

  
**Here's how to add a student who is under 18...**

**Important: For students under 18, DO NOT put in an email address, you will create a relationship to the parent afterwards.**  
  
1.Navigate to  **User Management**.  
2\. Click the **Add Student** button.  
3\. Enter student information **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Birthdate** if you know it.  
4\. Click **Yes** to proceed.  
  
Note: The system will  prompt you to create a relationship to the parent or guardian. You can ignore this and create a relationship after you have added the student if you don't have the relationship details yet.
