Not Receiving Password Reset Email
Symptom:
I am not receiving or am unable to locate the password reset email.
Cause:
This may be caused by one or more of the following:
  • Email provider is blocking the email
  • Email may be located under the spam/junk mail folder
  • Email may be going to another email address
Resolution:
To resolve this issue, perform one or more of the following:
  • Verify the email did not get moved to your spam folder
  • Verify the email is not being blocked
  • Wait up to 30 minutes
  • On the Success Email was Sent screen, verify the email address you are checking is listed, if it isn't contact technical support.
  • Student has no UserID on account.
  • Check the Social and Promotions tabs at the top in addition to Primary.
Note: The email address may display as the first part of your email before the @ symbol and the domain (i.e. name...@email.com).
