Students: Joining BeachWiki and Requesting Membership to
Your Course Wiki.

your
username. Log in to BeachWiki, click on My Account, and select Change
Username.
Go to your course wiki and click Join. DO NOT click "Join This
Wiki."

confirmation email that appears in your inbox.
Click on the "Confirm Your Email" link
provided.
You will be brought back to the main
BeackWiki page. Notice that your user name now appears in the menu in
the upper right of the screen.

Request membership to the wiki. Your
instructor might ask you to put your name or your CSULB ID in the
optional Comment section to help with identification (especially if you
are in a large class). Click Request Membership.
You will know your instructor has
approved your request when the "Edit" tab appears when you log into the
course wiki.
Congratulations! You have
successfully joining the BeachWiki community and have added yourself to
your course wiki.
