How can students set up their Poll Everywhere web portal account using the JMU Enterprise account?
Answer
Sign up for Poll Everywhere at www.pollEV.com (not www.polleverywhere.com)
Use your JMU @dukes.jmu.edu email address to sign up. If you receive a message stating that your email address has already been taken, reset your password. This password should not match your JMU eID password.
Note: Please do not use www.polleverywhere.com or the Poll Everywhere link on your Canvas Course page to sign up.
Check whether you are registered with JMU’s Poll Everywhere account.
Once you have created an account and are logged in, select “Registration” from the 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 your 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.
