You'll need to create one. CU Guest Access uses social media accounts to authenticate a guest’s identity. This is the only option available at this time.
FERPA Consent to Release may be a good option.
First, check your spam folder. Since the authorization emails are sent from a network account, they may be flagged as spam. If you still can't find them, confirm the email that your student used, then ask your student to re-send the email.
Yes. The email address that your student uses to establish your access must match the email you use for LinkedIn, Facebook or Google.

ÌýÌý
- If you don't need to be logged in to the social media account right now, log out of the social media account and try again.
- If you're still on the first activation step (i.e., you haven't logged in using a social media account yet) and your email address is associated with more than one of the three social media accounts, use another account instead.
- If you need to use this account and you need keep your social media account open:
- Open a different browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox).
- Confirm that you're not logged in to your social media account in that browser.
- Copy the link from your email message into the browser's address bar, and hit Enter.
- Select your social media account, and continue the process.
First, make sure you're not already logged in to the social media account you're using for CU Guest Access (see previous FAQ). If that doesn't solve the problem, close and reopen your browser, then clear its cache (see instructions for , , , ). If you're still having problems, contact the Office of the Registrar for troubleshooting help.
