Join through a school

If your college or university works with Fieldnote, you can use your school credentials or a school-approved email address. This keeps campus events, advisers, and employer introductions connected to the right profile.

1. Open your invitation

Look for a message from your careers team. Follow the button in that message so Fieldnote can identify your institution. If you cannot find it, visit your school’s careers page and choose the Fieldnote access link there.

Can’t see the email? Check your junk folder and any secondary school inbox. Invitations expire after 21 days, but your careers team can send a fresh one.

2. Choose your school

Start typing the full institution name and select it from the list. Use the official name shown on your student record rather than an abbreviation.

  • If your school appears more than once, choose the campus tied to your course.
  • If it does not appear, contact your careers team before creating a separate personal account.

3. Use your school sign-in

You may be redirected to your school’s login page. Enter the same username and password you use for other campus services, then approve the request to share your name and email with Fieldnote.

Some schools ask students to register with their academic email instead. In that case, continue to the form, enter your school email, and create a unique password.

Create a personal account

You can still join when your school does not offer Fieldnote access. A personal account lets you save roles, register for public events, and build a profile employers can discover.

1. Enter your name and email

Use an email you check regularly. We recommend a personal address if you are close to graduation, since school inboxes are often closed after you leave.

2. Set a secure password

Your password needs at least 10 characters, including a number and a symbol. Avoid reusing a password from another service.

3. Add your education

Choose your current or most recent school, expected graduation date, and field of study. You can change all three later from profile settings.

Verify your details

We send a confirmation link to the address you entered. Open it on the same browser if possible, then return to Fieldnote to continue onboarding.

  1. Open the message titled “Confirm your Fieldnote account.”
  2. Select Verify email.
  3. Add a phone number only if your school or an event requires it.
Link expired? Sign in again and choose Send a new verification email. Only the newest link will work.

Schools may also review the course and graduation information on new accounts. You can continue building your profile while that check is in progress.

Sign in after setup

Return to the Fieldnote sign-in page and use the method you chose during registration. Switching methods can create confusion, so check the options below before resetting anything.

School access

Select Sign in through school, find your institution, and continue through its familiar login screen. Fieldnote never receives your campus password.

Email and password

Enter the verified email on your profile. If you have forgotten the password, request a reset and use the most recent email we send.

Apple or Google

Choose the same provider you used when joining. If you enabled Apple’s private relay, the email shown in Fieldnote settings may end in @privaterelay.appleid.com; that is expected.

  • A social-login email must match the address already attached to your profile.
  • If you changed your school email, sign in first and update it under Settings → Access.
  • For a locked account, wait 20 minutes before trying again or contact support.
Security reminder: Support will never ask for your password or a one-time sign-in code.
