Maintenance update
As part of this essential system update, we need some existing users to reconfirm their email address. This is the institutional email address used when registering your Skill for Study account.
This is a one-time process. You may be prompted to provide your email address once you have signed into your institutional account. See the guide below for a heads-up of what to expect.
Once verified, that's it. To continue using Skills for Study, you'll just log into your institutional account as normal. No more prompts.
