To the Pastor and Leadership of HDR Church,

Below is the complete breakdown of how every person in your campus ecosystem β€” students, your campus administrator, and your teachers β€” logs in and accesses their portal. This is your single reference document for account creation, role assignment, and portal entry for HDR Church.

1How Everyone Logs In (All Roles)

Every account on the Cross Life platform uses the same login door, regardless of role:

  1. Go to crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org and click Login at the top of the page.
  2. Sign in with the email address used when the account was created (email + password, or Google single sign-on).
  3. After login, the platform reads your role and unlocks the portals you are permitted to see.
First-time users: You must create an account before logging in. Students create their own from the campus portal; campus admins and teachers are invited by email and then have their role flipped by CLSD main admin (see Sections 3 and 4).

2Students β€” Campus Portal & Course Access

Students enroll through your branded campus portal at crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/school/hdr-church. The portal is live and ready to receive enrollments. Tuition is $59.00 per student per month, of which HDR Church receives a 30% revenue share ($17.70 per active student per month), paid out on the normal CLSD payout schedule.

Student steps:

  1. Visit crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/school/hdr-church and click Login / Sign Up.
  2. Create an account with their email (default role: user).
  3. Complete the $59/mo subscription checkout. Enrollment is created automatically.
  4. Access all courses from the Student Dashboard at crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/student-dashboard.
  5. Open any course at /course-viewer?course_id=… β€” lessons unlock in order as quizzes are passed.

Students do not need any role assigned by CLSD β€” the "user" role they get at signup is all they need. Enrollment records (not roles) gate their course access.

3Campus Admin Portal β€” Access & Role Setup

Your campus administrator dashboard lives at crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/campus-admin. It lets the campus admin post the campus welcome message, publish campus announcements, assign CLSD courses to students, and review teaching outlines for the campus.

Role required:

  • The user must hold the campus_admin role (or admin, which is the CLSD main admin).
  • The user record must have campus_id set to HDR Church's campus ID β€” this links the admin to your specific campus.

How a campus admin is provisioned (two-step):

  1. Register: The campus admin creates a normal account at crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org (or is invited by CLSD as a standard user).
  2. Role flip + campus link: CLSD main admin updates the user's role to campus_admin and sets campus_id to HDR Church's ID.
  3. Access: The campus admin logs in and opens crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/campus-admin β€” the dashboard loads scoped to HDR Church automatically.
Why two steps? The platform's invitation system only invites base "user" or "admin" roles. Custom roles like campus_admin require the person to register first, then CLSD flips the role and attaches the campus link.

If a campus is ever deactivated, the linked campus_admin loses dashboard access and must use a standard student account to continue.

4Teacher Portal β€” Access & Role Setup

The teacher portal lives at crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/teacher-portal. It lets approved teachers browse the full theology course library, expand any course to its 10 lessons, and generate a Teacher's Manual (teaching outline) for any lesson β€” covering preparation, teaching steps, scriptures, and discussion direction.

Teachers never see quiz answers or grading keys. Those remain under CLSD main campus admin control. The Teacher Portal is for teaching preparation only.

Role required:

  • The user must hold the teacher role (or admin).

How a teacher is provisioned (two-step):

  1. Register: The teacher creates a normal account at crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org (or is invited by CLSD / the campus admin as a standard user).
  2. Role flip: CLSD main admin updates the user's role to teacher.
  3. Access: The teacher logs in and opens crosslifeschoolofdivinity.org/teacher-portal. The Teacher Portal button also appears in the top navigation for teacher accounts.

Inside the Teacher Portal:

  • Click any course to expand its 10 lessons.
  • Click a lesson, then Generate Teacher's Manual if none exists yet.
  • Generated manuals are saved automatically and can be reopened any time without regenerating.

6Support & Account Changes

All role assignments (campus_admin, teacher) and campus_id links are performed by the CLSD main admin. If a campus admin or teacher cannot access their portal, the most common cause is that the role has not yet been flipped after registration β€” email school@hdrchurch.org and CLSD will complete the role assignment.

For anything else β€” onboarding support, promotional materials, a walkthrough of the campus dashboard β€” the CLSD office stands ready to assist.

For the Kingdom,
