IDL Student Registration

your journey begins here

Welcome to F.I.R.S.T. Institute! For those of you who have been accepted, congratulations! We are so excited to begin our journey together as we help launch your creative career.

To ensure a smooth registration process, we kindly request that you wait until a representative from F.I.R.S.T. reaches out to you with instructions before proceeding. Completing the registration in advance may result in the need for resubmission, so we appreciate your patience in waiting for further guidance.

Remember, this is mandatory. If you are having trouble accessing your accounts or understanding Canvas and Microsoft 365*, please feel free to reach out to us for help at help@first.edu or call us at (407) 316-8310.

*Note: Canvas and Microsoft 365 may look different if accessed from a mobile device.

Step 1: office 365

Microsoft 365 gives you access to your Microsoft apps, such as Outlook (email), Word, Excel, and Teams. Login using the information sent to you via email; your account should already have been created.

Step 2: microsoft teams

Microsoft Teams is how you will communicate with your classmates and instructors. Download and install Microsoft Teams on your mobile device and desktop. Your login for Teams will be your school email and password.

Step 3: Login into Canvas & Populi

To help you prepare for your first day, we have provided class resources below. Simply click the links and log in using your student email and password. No additional steps are required at this time.

Step 4: joining class on teams

Please log in to your Teams lecture an hour early on your first day to check in with your instructor.

  • On the Microsoft Teams window, on the left-hand side, there will be a column of tabs. Click on the tab labeled “Teams.”
  • The window will then display the teams you are a part of. Click the box with the initials of your program (RASP IDL, DFVP, IDL, GDWD IDL, or DP IDL). 
  • Once you are in the Posts section, you will see that a meeting is active. Click the “Join” button.
  • You will be prompted to enable your camera and microphone. Both must be enabled. Then click “Join Now” to enter your virtual class.
  • Note: you may not see your class available in Teams until your first school day.
