For the first step in the registration process, you are asked to supply the system with some personal information about
yourself and your educational institution. Do not worry, this is simply for administrative purposes only. Your information will be
kept private.
Follow these steps:
Enter your first name, last name, middle name, and e-mail address in the spaces provided. Your e-mail address will be used for logging into
the teachers' portion of NoteStar.
Enter your password in the text field provided. Your password should be alphanumeric (letters and numbers) and at 5-10 characters long.
In the second password field, re-enter your original password for confirmation.
Enter your school's zip code. Please do not enter your home zip code.
When finished, click the Continue button.
All of these steps are depicted in the image below.
Step 2: Choose to register classes, or quit now.
(Back to Top ... )
The Registration - Successful page confirms that you are now registered to use NoteStar. If you believe you made any mistakes, do not worry. You may
make changes to your account at a later time.
You now have the option to end the registration process (by clicking the Log out button). However, you may continue the registration process
and set up your classes and rosters. If you choose to quit, you may set up your classes and rosters at a later
time using the Class Manager.
It is recommended that you set up your class rosters at this time. It will greatly benefit you and ease your use of NoteStar.
Click the Continue button to start entering your class information.
If the information is correct, click the Go Back to Class Listing link. If you need to change any of the class information or notice a typo, click the Edit Class link.
For this step, you may now add students to your class roster. This will assist you in managing your classes
and projects. It will also create user names and passwords for students so they can log in to NoteStar.
Follow these steps to add students to your roster:
On the Class Manager page, click the Roster link next to the class that the roster is associated with.
Next click the Add Students to this Class link.
On the following page, you will be able to add students on the righ-hand side of the page and view your roster on the left-hand side of the page.
You may enter both previously registered students and new students.
To add a new student who has never been registered, click the Create a New Student link.
Enter a username. Notice that behind the field is an underscore "_" followed by your school's zip code. When a student needs to login, they must enter "username_zipcode". Note: To protect the privacy of your students, you may NOT use a student's real name as the username. You may use combinations of initials of the first and last names (ie. carriej, cjones, or crj) or nicknames.
Enter a password. This password may be a generic password (i.e. "12345"). It is recommended that you advise your students to change their password as soon as possible. You may look up their password at any time by viewing your class roster.
Enter the student's first and last name. You may use their real names in these fields, since this information is only viewable by you.
Click the Create Student button when you are finished.
To add students already registered in other classes or students who have already registered themselves, simply enter their username (ie. John_66045) and click the Add Student button. Note: if you have students who have already registered themselves or whom other teachers have registered, you will need to ask those students for their usernames.
To add students that you have already registered or enrolled in other classes, click the Add button next to their names.
Repeat the processes above, until you have added all students to your list. If you make a mistake, simply delete the erroneous
entry. This can be done by clicking the Remove link next to the corresponding student.
The teacher registration process is now complete. You have created your own account and a class roster. You may now click the Go Back to Class Roster link, and then the Go Back to Class Home link.
If you would like to continue setting up your class projects, click the Go Back to Teacher Home.
