Here's what happens on their side, and what you can do to help it along. ## What they receive After you submit onboarding, the guardian you named gets an **email with a secure personal link**. They don't need an account or a password — the link takes them straight to their portal, where they: 1. confirm your details, 2. add emergency contact information, 3. sign the consent forms and their half of the waiver. While you wait, your status shows as **Awaiting Parent** and your event page shows whether they've finished: The event page showing the parent/guardian card with a send invitation button ## Nudging them along * **Resend the invitation** any time from your event page — there's a button on the Parent/Guardian card. (You can resend at most once every couple of minutes.) * If the button says invitations haven't opened yet, the event hasn't started sending guardian forms — nothing is wrong; try again once the organizers open them. ## They lost the email? Two options: 1. **Resend it** from your event page (easiest). 2. Send them to the **Guardian Portal Center**: from the Attend home page, they click **Parent or guardian**, enter the email address or phone number the organizers have on file for them, and receive a 6-digit verification code that shows them every portal linked to them — including fresh links for any that expired. No digging through their inbox. The Guardian Portal Center where guardians can recover their links ## Common questions **"I typed my parent's email wrong."** Go back to the Guardian step if you haven't submitted yet — changing the email automatically re-sends the invitation to the new address. Already submitted? Email [attend@hackclub.com](mailto:attend@hackclub.com) and we'll fix it. **"Can I use my own number/email for my parent?"** No — the guardian's phone must be different from yours, and it genuinely needs to reach them. These forms are legal consent; they have to come from your actual parent or guardian. **"My parent finished but I'm still not Complete."** You may still need to sign **your** half of the waiver — check your dashboard for a "sign your waiver" prompt.
