# How do I start my course?

The last step to begin the course is to click the start course button.

Haven't done that (or aren't sure if you did)? It's easy to check!

* Go to your student management page via the parent dashboard.
* Check for a "Start Course" button near the top of the page.
* If you haven't already started your course, here's what you'll see on the page:

* If you see that, click the button to start your 12 months of access!
* **Don't see the start button?** Check to make sure your student has a course start date listed like this:

**Please note:** if you have students enrolled in multiple middle school or high school subjects, you will need to complete this for each individual course.
