Step 1 is initiated when you activate the student. The student will be prompted via automated email to create an account and complete the Pre-Research Assessment followed by the the Pre-Research Survey. You will be notified of this by automated email. Once the student submits their Pre-Research Survey, this step will be marked complete and Step 2 will begin.

If any students are on Step 1 as the Pre-Research Deadline approaches, consider reaching out to students to see if they have been able to create and log into their accounts, and ensure that they are receiving the automated email prompts.
