Instructions

Submit a Profile Request

1. Go to https://mnchildwelfaretraining.com/ to request a Training Portal Profile. 
2. Select “New Profile Request Form” from the "New Profile" section.
3. Fill out the request form:
   • Request your portal with your university/college email - unless you are a UMN or UMD student (see below). 
     • Important: UMN/UMD students must not use their @umn.edu or @d.umn.edu email address, as the portal cannot access training records associated with those accounts and will result in technical issues. Request a portal with an email that is NOT your student email or any alternate email tied to your student account. 
   • Current Title/Role: Select "Current Student/Intern"
   • Start Date: Choose the date closest to the semester start
   • Agency Type: Select "State"
   • Agency: Choose your university/college
   • Additional Comments: Note that you're a current IV-E student and include your coordinator’s name and email.
     
4. Select “Submit”. The training team will review and approve your request. This may take a day.
5. Once approved, you’ll get an email notification with further instructions on how to finish creating your portal.

Log In and Complete Setup 

• Log into your MNCWTA Portal with your UMN guest account under "Existing User". 
• Select "Training Portal" from the dropdown in the upper right. 
• Take the site tour and select "Grant Permission" to access Canvas. Watch how to grant permission to Canvas with the tutorial video below:

Connect with your Coordinator

1. Confirm your profile setup with your university’s IV-E coordinator. 
2. To accept an invitation from your coordinator, follow the steps in MSW/BSW Scholars Connect with Coordinators help article.
3. If you are having issues adding your coordinator, submit a ticket on our Contact Us page. 

Keep your Portal Profile Updated

• When you have a supervisor, you can add them to your Portal Profile. 
• When you graduate, your coordinator will disconnect from your Portal Profile.
• When you graduate, do not create another Portal Profile or UMN guest account, instead submit a ticket on our Contact Us page to update your portal. 

If you need additional assistance, submit a ticket on the Contact Us page. If you do not get an email confirming your ticket has been received, follow the steps in the Help Desk: No Response article.
