Access - Creating an Account
Overview

Schools typically make the link available under the Application for Financial Aid section of the school’s website for Access applicants. The link directs students to the Student Experience Portal where applicants are able to sign up for an account.
The student will then be presented with an Eligibility question, if configured on Institution Setup>Regent Access tab in Regent.:
Upon login or creation of an account, the applicant will be directed to the Student Experience Portal where the Access application is accessible under Required Documents.
Regent
A student record for each applicant is created in Regent for the Default Institution upon account sign-up. Regent automatically assigns the Student ID 1 in numerical order at the time the student record is created.
When the Access ISIR Formatted file is imported into Regent, if a matching student record is not found for the Default Institution, an account is created for each non-Default Institution (each Federal School Code listed on the application), thereby creating a unique ID for each respective Institution. The Student ID 2 for the non-Default Institution will be the Student ID 1 from the Default Institution.
