How can students set up their Poll Everywhere web portal account using the JMU Enterprise account?
Answer
Navigate to Poll Everywhere at www.pollEV.com to sign up/log-in using your JMU e-ID credentials
Click "Log in" from the Navigation Bar and input your @dukes.jmu.edu email address. Then click the blue bar that appears labeled "Log in with James Madison University" and use your JMU e-ID credentials. If you do not already have an account, you may be asked to sign up.
If you are a student employee who has both an @jmu.edu email and a @dukes.jmu.edu email, you will want to input your @dukes.jmu.edu email and select the option to "Use password instead" to log in or sign up. You may need to reset your password through Poll Everywhere the first time you access your account. It does not have to be the same as your JMU e-ID password.
Important: When prompted to accept third-party cookies by Poll Everywhere at any point, be sure to click "Accept All". Third-party cookies from Poll Everywhere must be allowed within your web browser in order for Canvas and Poll Everywhere to communicate properly. If you have accidentally denied third-party cookies from Poll Everywhere, you can go into the Privacy and Security settings for your Internet browser and either reset/clear your cookies or add PollEv.com as an excepted website.
Check whether you are registered with JMU’s Poll Everywhere account.
Once you have created an account and are logged in, select “Registration” from your www.pollEV.com home page. If this is your first time using Poll Everywhere for a class at JMU, it may say that you’re not registered with any presenters. That’s OK! When your instructor performs the initial sync of their roster, it should also register you for the JMU account. You must be registered to participate in any graded Polls or Activities. Ungraded activities may or may not require registration at your instructor’s discretion.
If the Registration page does not indicate that you are registered with James Madison University, your instructor may need to sync their roster. This is especially likely if you have recently joined the course.
To ensure that each student’s Poll Everywhere responses are accurately recorded in Canvas, Self-Registration has been disabled. The blue button on the Canvas registration page labeled “+Registration” will give you an error if you try to search for your instructor’s username.
If it does say that you are registered with James Madison University and you are still unable to participate, try to delete your Poll Everywhere account from the Settings menu and re-create it using your @dukes.jmu.edu email.
For any persistent issues with getting registered or participating in activities that require registration, send an email to support@polleverywhere for assistance.
