The first step to enrolling in our program is to make sure you have the computer version of Minecraft set up. If this is not set up before enrolling, there may be a delay in your student's ability to start their course on time. Please be sure to get this set up first.
When that is done, you will need your Minecraft.net username to complete our enrollment form.
On our website, we have broken our courses into age/grade categories for our 6 week program. You can choose the category you need, then select courses that interest you and your student. Our enrollment form will have sections for up to 3 courses per session. If you would like your student to take more than 3 courses in a session, please email us.
Each course section will have a slot to enter the full name of the course, a drop-down menu for the age/grade level for which that course is offered, and a drop-down for the course type - standard, graded, or graded + portfolio. Please make sure all 3 slots are completed for each course you enter. Also, make sure the course you want is offered in the proper age/grade level. (e.g. 'just for fun' should only be checked if your chosen course was on the 'just for fun' page.)
Note: We also offer a subscription program, you can read more about that here.
Once you have enrolled, you should receive an email from GamED Academy confirming enrollment, as well as an email from Paypal/Stripe confirming payment.
If you don't receive both of these emails, please contact us at info@GamEDAcademy.com, as your enrollment will not be valid unless you receive both.
The next email you will receive, for new students, will be the access email to your new portal account and Student Activity Center + Orientation. That will arrive the day of your session start. The Orientation lesson should be completed before beginning your course, even for returning students. All courses will be added to student accounts on day 1 of the session in which you are enrolled. Please log in first thing that day and email us immediately if any course is missing or incorrect.
For returning students, your access to the Student Activity center access will remain in place and your new course(s) will be added to your account on day 1 of the session in which you are enrolled.
For enrollments received after our Orientation week starts(which is the full week prior to class start), you will receive program access within 24-48 hours.
Please note, there are times when our emails end up in spam folders, lost in the cyber world, or even bounced back because of a typo on an enrollment form. We ask that you add info@GamEDAcademy.com to your address book and email us as soon as possible if by chance you do not receive your access emails on time. Also, there are times when we will merge the Orientation access with the Course access which would create only 1 email to cover both.
Special Note–Since the launch of Windows 10, many parents are purchasing Minecraft: Windows 10 edition. It is an adaptation of the Pocket Edition and isn’t compatible with computer version Minecraft servers. Please make sure that you have purchased the $26.95 computer version of Minecraft for PC/Mac via Minecraft.net.
