This guide walks new members through registering an account, joining an academy, and setting up a student profile — on both the web and the mobile app.

***

## 🌐 On the Web

### Step 1 — Register an account

You need an invite link or invite code from your academy admin. There are two ways to receive one:

- **Email invitation** — admin sends you an invite email; click the link to go straight to the registration page with your email pre-filled
- **Invite code** — admin gives you a code (e.g. `RM-XXXXX`); go to your academy's registration page and enter it

Go to your academy's registration page — the link or code from your admin will take you there directly (e.g. `youracademy.remmu.com/register` or your academy's custom domain, if they have one).

Fill in:

| Field            | Notes                                    |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Full name        | Your display name across the platform    |
| Email            | Used to log in and receive notifications |
| Phone number     | Contact number for your academy          |
| Password         | Minimum 8 characters                     |
| Confirm password | Must match                               |

Click **Create Account**. You will receive a verification email — click the link to confirm your email address.

:::hint{type="info"}
If you were invited by email, your email address will be pre-filled and your role in the academy will be set automatically.
:::

***

### Step 2 — Log in

After verifying your email, go back to your academy's login page (the same URL your registration link used) and enter your email and password. You will be taken to your academy dashboard.

***

### Step 3 — Set up your student profile

After logging in, go to **Profile** from the top menu or sidebar.

If you don't yet have a student profile, you'll see an **+ Add Myself** button. Click it and fill in:

| Field                | Notes                                                            |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Full name            | Required                                                         |
| Date of birth        | Used for age verification                                        |
| IC / Passport number | Optional — auto-fills date of birth and gender for Malaysian ICs |
| Phone                | Your contact number                                              |
| Emergency contact    | Name and phone number                                            |
| Custom fields        | Any additional fields your academy requires (e.g. belt rank)     |

Click **Save**. Your student profile is now linked to your account.

***

### Step 4 — Add a child profile (guardians)

If you are registering on behalf of a child, click **+ Add Child** on the Profile page instead of **+ Add Myself**.

Fill in the child's details. You can specify whether the child has their own email and phone or whether all contact should go to you.

Once saved, the child's profile appears on your Profile page alongside your own.

***

## 📱 On the Mobile App

### Step 1 — Download the app

| Platform | How to find it                 |
| -------- | ------------------------------ |
| iOS      | App Store — search **REMMU**   |
| Android  | Google Play — search **REMMU** |

***

### Step 2 — Register

Open the app and tap **Register**.

You need your academy's **invite code** — ask your admin if you don't have one. Codes come in two formats:

| Code Format      | What it does                                                   |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `RM-XXXXX`       | Academy-level invite — joins you to the academy                |
| 6-character code | Location or class-level invite — joins you to a specific class |

You can also **scan a QR code** instead of typing the code manually — tap the QR icon next to the code field.

Once a valid code is entered, the academy (and class, if applicable) is shown for confirmation. Then fill in:

- First name
- Email
- Phone
- Password and confirm password

Tap **Register**. Your account is created and you are automatically joined to the academy.

***

### Step 3 — Log in

If you already have an account, tap **Log In** on the opening screen. Enter your email and password.

:::hint{type="info"}
You use the same email and password on both the web portal and the mobile app — no separate account needed.
:::

***

### Step 4 — Complete your profile

After logging in, tap **Profile** (bottom navigation). If your student profile is incomplete, you'll be prompted to fill in missing details such as date of birth, IC number, and emergency contact.

Once your account and student profile are set up:

- Your admin will enrol you in your class
