Single Sign On Overview
The Single Sign On gives you one click access into all of the tools available in your Community Edcation Gateway. You no longer have to login everytime you go to a new application. You can store all of your account information inside the Single Sign On for each application and use Single Sign On as your launching point for all of your educational tools.

Account Registration
There are three ways to get an account in the Single Sign On system. An Single Sign On Adminsitrator can manually create an account for you, an Single Sign On Admin can import your information from an SIS system, or you can register for an account.
To register for an account, go to the main page of your Community Education Gateway and click the 'Register Here' link at the top of the page under the main banner. You will see a form asking you to enter your first name, last name, email address, a user ID, an organization, role, and password. When finished, click 'Submit Registration Request'. The system will alert you to any required information not filled out correctly. After successfully completing registration, your account is created with a 'Pending' status. A notification will be sent to the Single Sign On administrators for the organization you selected. They will review your request and either approve or deny it. You will receive a notification via email as soon as your account has been approved or denied.
