Frequently Asked Questions - Accounts & Registration

 

This FAQ covers common parent questions about auditions, registration, and fees for new and returning singers.

 

Getting Started

What is Uplifter, and why are we using it?

Uplifter is an online registration and account management system used by many arts and sports organisations. Pacific Voices is using Uplifter to make registration, communication, and payments more secure, organised, and convenient for families.

Why do I need to create an account?

An account allows you to register your singer(s), manage your family information, receive important updates, and make payments securely online.

Who should create the account (parent or singer)?

A parent or guardian should create the account and manage it. Singers are added under the parent/guardian account.

Do returning families need to create a new account?

Yes, all families will need to create a new account in Uplifter as part of our transition to a new registration system.

How is Uplifter organised?

After logging in, there are three main areas you’ll use: the main landing page, the “My Account” area (accessed by hovering over your name), and the “Registration” page (available from the top menu).

 

Creating an Account

How do I create an account in Uplifter?

Visit our Uplifter website, select “Login”, and then select “First Time Registering?” and enter your information. Visit our registration page and click “Create Account.”

What information do I need to set up my account?

You’ll be asked to provide basic details for your singer(s) and family, including contact information, emergency contacts, and important medical information.

Can I add more than one singer to the same account?

Yes, you can add multiple singers under a single family account.

I didn’t receive a confirmation email—what should I do?

Check your spam or junk folder first. If you still don’t see it, try resetting your password or contact us for assistance.

 

Managing Your Account

How do I log in if I forget my password?

Click the “Forgot Password” link on the login page and follow the instructions to reset your password.

How can I change my password?

Log in to your account and navigate to “Account Details & Addresses”, then select “Edit Details”.

How do I update my contact or family information?

Log in to your account and navigate to “Account Details & Addresses”, then select “Edit Details”.

How do I add or remove a singer from my account?

Log in to your account and navigate to “Singers”, then select “New Singer”. If you need to remove a singer, please contact us for assistance to ensure records are handled correctly.

 

Auditions

Do all singers need to audition?

New singers are required to audition to be accepted into the program. Returning singers who are invited to re-register do not need to audition and will be sent a registration code directly.

How do I sign up for an audition?

A link to audition sign-ups is available on the Pacific Voices website.

What is the audition process?

Auditions are a short and supportive process designed to ensure Pacific Voices is a good fit for your singer. Details vary by age group.

How will I be notified of audition results?

You will be notified by email. Successful singers will also receive a registration code required to complete registration in Uplifter.

Am I guaranteed a spot in the choir after a successful audition?

While a successful audition does not guarantee a spot, singers who register soon after receiving their acceptance and registration code are very likely to secure a place. Registration is first-come, first-served, with priority access given to returning families.

 

Registration

How do I register my singer for a division?

1. Log in and go to the “Registration” page from the top menu.
2. Select “Register” next to the appropriate division.
3. Choose your singer or select “New Singer” and enter their details.
4. Enter your registration code (sent by email).
5. Click “OK” to continue.
6. Repeat this process for each singer you wish to register.
7. When finished, go to your cart and complete your transaction.

When does registration open and close?

Registration opens in early summer each year, with priority access for returning families, followed by general registration for new members. Spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

How do I know which division to choose for my singer?

Divisions are based on age and skill and are assigned by the director(s). You should select the division that corresponds to the one outlined in your registration email.

Can a singer register for more than one division?

No, each singer may only be registered in one division per season. Multiple singers can still be registered under the same account if applicable.

What if my registration code doesn’t work?

Double-check that the code was entered exactly as provided. If the issue continues, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

When is my registration considered complete?

Registration is only confirmed once payment has been completed and you have received a confirmation email. If items remain in your cart without completing checkout, your spot is not held.

How do I know if my registration was successful?

You will receive a confirmation email once your registration is complete. You can also confirm by going to your “My Account” area, opening the “Singers” tab, selecting your singer, and viewing the bottom of their profile where their registered divisions will be listed.

 

Fees and Payment

How do I pay registration fees through Uplifter?

Fees are paid online through your Uplifter account. After registering, go to your cart to review your balance and complete payment.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payments are made online through Uplifter, typically by credit card or pre-authorized debit.

Can I set up a payment plan?

Yes. You can choose to pay in full or by monthly installments through Uplifter when completing your registration.

How do installment payments work?

If you select a monthly payment plan, a deposit of the total annual tuition is required at registration, along with a non-refundable registration fee, to secure your singer’s spot.
The remaining balance is divided into equal monthly payments over the season.

Is the deposit refundable?

The deposit is applied toward your total tuition and is generally non-refundable. However, there is a short trial period at the beginning of the season. If a singer withdraws during this time, a partial refund may be issued.
Full details are provided in our registration policies and confirmation email.

Is there a registration fee?

Yes, a non-refundable registration fee is required for all registrations, regardless of whether you choose to pay in full or by installments.

Are there any discounts available?

A limited early bird discount may be available for registrations completed within a specified timeframe. This discount applies only to tuition paid in full at the time of registration and is not available for installment payment plans. It does not apply to the non-refundable registration fee.

What is your refund or cancellation policy?

Refund and cancellation policies will be outlined during registration.

 

Troubleshooting

What should I do if I have trouble logging in?

Try resetting your password. If the issue continues, contact us for assistance.

What if I encounter an error during registration?

Refresh the page and try again. If the problem persists, take a screenshot (if possible) and contact us with details.

Who can I contact for help with Uplifter?

Please contact our administration team for assistance.

 

Emails & Communication

Why am I not receiving emails from Pacific Voices?

Check your spam or junk folder. Also confirm your email is entered correctly in your Uplifter account.

Will all communication come through Uplifter?

Most registration-related communication will come through Uplifter, but you may also receive emails directly from Pacific Voices.

 

Waitlists

What happens if a division is full?

If a division has reached capacity, you will see an option to join the waitlist during registration. If a space becomes available, families will be contacted by email in waitlist order.
No payment is required to join the waitlist.

How do I join a waitlist?

If a division has reached capacity, you will see an option to join the waitlist during registration. If a space becomes available, families will be contacted by email in waitlist order.

 

Technical Tips

What device or browser should I use?

Uplifter works best on updated browsers such as Chrome, Safari, or Edge. If you experience issues, try switching browsers or devices.

 

Policies & Agreements

Do I need to agree to any policies during registration?

Yes, you will be asked to review and accept policies such as code of conduct, media consent, and payment terms.

 

Receipts & Tax Information

Will I receive a receipt for my payment?

Yes, receipts are automatically generated and can be accessed through your Uplifter account.

Is tuition tax deductible?

No. While Pacific Voices is a registered charity, tuition fees are not considered a charitable donation and are therefore not eligible for a tax receipt. Only eligible donations (if applicable) can be issued official charitable tax receipts in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.

Can I download receipts later?

Yes, you can log in at any time to view and download past receipts.
