ACCOUNT SETUP
How do I access my OLC Institutional Membership benefits?
  • You must use your organization email address (i.e. john.smith@myuniversity.edu) to access benefits. If you do not already have an account using your organizational email address, create a new account.
  • Create a free user account: create an OLC account 
  • During the account creation process, you must choose “Allow” when asked to allow access.
  • Once you create your account you will be automatically logged in and also sent an email with a link to access your account
  • Once logged in, the system will now recognize you as a member and you can use your OLC Institutional member benefits.

      I already have a user account. How do I make sure I am affiliated with my institution?

  • If your current OLC user account uses your organization email address, you simply log in with that account and you are all set!
  • If your current OLC user account does NOT use your organization email address, log in to your current account, go to Account (top). This brings you to My Info. Scroll down to Email, then Change. Add your organization email address and change your Preferred Email Type (click the X) to choose your organization email. For assistance, please contact us at support@onlinelearning-c.org
