How do I sign up for Alison?
Updated over a week ago

Signing up with us is easy and can be done in a few short steps.

There are two ways to register an account on Alison: you could either use one of your social media accounts or use your email address. To ensure your account safety and security, please use the account type that best suits your needs and preferences.


When you create an Alison account using a social profile, you'll need to choose that same social account whenever you log in. This is done to keep your account secure and ensure that you always access it with the same account.

If you need to reset your password, you can do it directly on the website of the social account you used to sign up (Google, Facebook, etc.).

When you sign up, please double-check that your name is entered correctly. That's because we want to make sure that when you graduate, your certificate has your name spelled correctly. If you double-check your spelling now, you'll avoid errors โ€“ and the extra costs of making corrections later on!

If you use one of your social accounts to create your Alison account, the name associated with that social account will automatically be entered in your Alison account. You can change it to whatever you prefer, and you can find out how to do that right here.
