Learn how to register for a DUOS account, either with a Gmail account or with a non-Gmail institutional email address.
Overview: DUOS accounts
The DUOS platform requires a Google account: either a Gmail account, an institutional Google Apps account, or a Google Apps account that you create. If your institution uses G Suite, your account will already be a Google account and you can proceed directly to register in DUOS. If not, you can create a Google account that is associated with your non-Gmail, institutional email address.
Do not use account aliases Setting up an alias connection between your non-Google account and a Google account will result in account issues and erratic behavior when using the platform. Please do not use accounts with alias connections for DUOS!
