Instructions for Guest Accounts

You will receive email notification when your Moodle Guest Account is ready. The information below will help you access that account.

Guest account details

Guest accounts will use Local Moodle-Only accounts and will need to login using the ‘Guest Login’. (See the Login procedure below)

Your username will be the full email address which you used when requesting the guest account (e.g. bobama@mycollege.edu or jbiden@google.com). You will not normally be assigned a password; when you are notified that your account is ready, use the Forgotten your username or password? link on the Local Moodle-Only login page to initiate an email with password reset instructions.

You should see the course(s) you are enrolled in when you login.
