- Go to passport.gatech.edu and log in
- At the bottom of the left side menu, click on "Manage Guests" under "Sponsored Guests"
- Click on "Create a Guest Account"
- Enter the guest's information.
- If you're adding a group of people for a program or event, you can create a group to keep the accounts organized.
- If the person also requires LAWN (wireless internet) access, check the box under the "Services" section. Most people won't need this, just basic authentication.
- You can grant access for up to 1 year, but choose an appropriate expiration date. If the person will need access longer than 1 year, you'll be able to renew their access.
- You can either have them set their own password, or you can choose it and tell them.
- Add a message if you want which will go in the email to them.
- Click the checkbox agreeing to the conditions, then click "Save".
If you are setting up a guest account so that someone can log in and take training, they should have access in an hour or so.
