In the typical course conference, membership is restricted to students and their instructor. There are many types of special conferences whose membership may be partially or fully restricted. If a user has a u.arizona.edu email account they can logon using the same username and password. Special accounts for non-UA members can be obtained through Customer Accounts. These accounts will have an expiration date, usually for one semester.
Restrictions prevent duplication of discussions and conserve system resources.
Introductory training sessions are available for Faculty, Student Workshops and Departments.
