1. Access Athena AI from CollegePlannerPro

• Log in to your CollegePlannerPro account
• Navigate to the Students tab

• At the top right, launch Athena AI by clicking on the icon  

  

2. Create Your Athena AI Account or Connect an Existing One

 A. Create your Athena AI Account

• Enter your Organization name and some other details

  

• Click Continue
• Review how much time you'll save, based on the answers provided. Then move on to the next step.

  *This allows data to sync between platforms and enables embedded features.

Note: If your organization has a shared setup, you may receive an invite instead. However, you can create your own, separate account and be billed individually for your Athena AI membership.

• When asked to confirm login, be sure to click "Continue with CollegePlannerPro"

  

3. ~3-minute Guided Tour

We highly recommend taking a few minutes to go through the guided tour that appears when you first log in. It includes helpful prompts and tips designed to walk you through the setup and make it easier to get comfortable with how your Athena AI account is organized.

4. Start Using Athena AI

Once connected, you can begin using Athena AI to:

• Review and improve student essays
• Generate ideas for application responses
• Provide structured, AI-assisted feedback within your workflow
