Adding a new user to eKool (student, parent)

To view or enter your information in eKool, you must be an eKool user. If a parent wants or the school requires their child to use eKool independently, as a student, they will need to add a new eKool user and then ask the school for access to their data as a student. 

The eKool username is an e-mail address. There cannot be more than one user with the same username, so it is up to the parent to add or help the child to get a personal email address. Often the school will provide the address for the child.

Creating a new user account

To register a new eKool account, go to the eKool website at:

• https://www.ekool.eu/en/home -> Register -> Create an account

• or go straight to https://login.ekool.eu/#/en/register and click on Create ana account

eKool wants to know who you are? You can choose from secure authentication methods (Mobile ID, ID card, HarID or Smart ID) or, if you do not wish to introduce yourself securely at this time, choose to add a user with a password.

When you click the Create an Account button, a Personal Details form will open where you can enter your user account details:

• user email address (this address will become your eKool username)
• phone number (optional)
• password
• and the same password again.

Clicking on the button Next asks for personal details:

Enter First Name, Last Name and ID-code. If the ID-code is Estonian, the Date of Birth and Gender will be filled in automatically.

After clicking the button Next, user has to add their address.

Clicking on Create an Account will display information whether the creation of a new user account was successful or if the user already has an eKool account with the entered data.

If there is already a user added with such a personal ID or e-mail address, eLool will recognise you and in this case a message will be displayed that the user already exists!

If you already have an eKool user account, but would still like to register a new user, click on the link Create a new account using the same ID code. The recommendation is not to create a new account, but to remember your existing eKool username and password and to Log in with an existing user.

However, if you are registering an eKool account for the first time, eKool will send an email to the email address you have provided, containing an activation key.

You will find an email in your inbox saying that your registration was successful and that you need to confirm your email address. When you open the email, you will find a button Verify my address to confirm your email address.

Upon successful validation of the email address, a message Welcome to eKool will appear on the eKool page and click on the Go to login page to log in to eKool.

At the same time, a new email will be sent to your email account by eKool and you will be notified that your eKool account is ready.

When you open the email, you'll be welcomed as a new eKool user and given some useful guidance on how to get started with eKool. Depending on the role of the user (student, parent or school staff), select the guide for further action by clicking on the Continue reading link in the letter ->
