All users, including auditors, need a valid CalNet account in order to login to bCourses and be added to your course site(s).
For any person that does not have a CalNet account, the instructor of the course will need to sponsor them for a CalNet Guest Account. They can be added to bCourses once their Sponsored Guest Account is created.

Step 2
Auditor accepts their Guest Account invitation. You can view the invitation status on the Guest Invitation Service page.
Note: It may take up to 24 hours for new Guest Accounts to appear in bCourses.
Step 3
