  2. Create an Account/Sign In

    First-time users will need to create an account on the WVU Genius portal system. Complete all fields on the registration form. If the Affiliation field is not already populated, check your course listing for the appropriate choice.

    After completing the form, a new account email with a temporary password will be sent to the address used during the registration process. Use the link in the email to sign in with the temporary password. The system will require you to change your password. 

    Returning learners will sign in using the username and password they created during their account setup. If sent to the Login/Create an Account form, use the text link at the top of the form to load the sign-in page.
