    • Option 1: Linking your official institution account - iClicker will check if you have used an existing account with an official UCLA email and automatically sign you in. 
    • Option 2: Linking and updating a non-official account - If you have an iClicker account that is not associated with an official UCLA email, iClicker will prompt you to connect it with your UCLA campus portal sign-in.
    • Option 3: Create an account

When you sign into the iClicker Student Mobile App or the Web App, you will see that you’re added to your instructor’s iClicker Cloud course listed under Courses.
