What do student welcome emails look like?

Modified on Wed, 21 Oct at 1:36 PM

When you send (or resend) welcome emails, every student who hasn't activated their Overgrad account yet gets an email like the one below. It has a button they click to activate their account and set their password.

What's in the email


The activation link works for 180 days. If a student's link has expired, or they can't find the email, send it again (see below). Each new email has a fresh link.

Note: Students who created their own Overgrad account, instead of being added by their school, get a slightly different email with a Verify Account button.


Sending or resending welcome emails

You can send welcome emails to a whole graduating class or to one student at a time. For step-by-step instructions, read How to (re)send student "Welcome Emails".


Troubleshooting

  • If the email isn't in their inbox, they should check their spam or junk folder.
  • Adding hello@overgrad.com to their contacts can help future Overgrad emails arrive.
  • Once they've activated their account, they won't get another welcome email. If they forget their password, they should reset it from the login page.
