Guests: How to Activate ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Guest Access
Creating a guest account is a two-step process.ÌýOnce the student submits your credentials, you’ll receive an email listing the record components to which they've granted you access, along with a link to create your account.
Step 1: Authentication (For First-Time Users and Returning Guests)
- From the link contained in the email, visitÌýthe University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥'sÌýÌý±è²¹²µ±ð.
- You must connect your new ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ guest access account to an existing LinkedIn, Facebook or Google/Gmail that matchesÌýthe email address where you received the first email. If you do not have such an account, you'll need to either create one or ask the student to establish your access using a different email address.
- Follow the on-screen steps to authenticate your social media login with ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ System Login (steps differ slightly for each social media provider).
- On the "Create Account" screen, enter the email address where you received the emailÌýand your first and last name. Click "Create Account."
- If a message tells you the email address is incorrect, click "OK," check your email address and try again.
- If an error message tells you an account already exists with that email address, you likely created a ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ guest account earlier with a different student. Click "OK," click on the "ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Guest Access"Ìýlink on the logout page and log back in with your social ID.​ Accept the terms and conditions and provide theÌýsecurity keyÌýfromÌýthe most recent email.
