Registering for an Account

All students, regardless of how you decide to fulfill the research requirement, must register for an account on our online tracking system. All credits completed towards your research requirement will be indicated in your account. Your account will be viewed and monitored by your PSYCH 101 instructor. If you have not completed all the required credits towards the requirement by the last day of classes, you will receive an Incomplete for the course. Here are the instructions to register for an account.

  1.  Go to the online tracking system.
  2.  On the bottom left you will see a “New Participant?” link. Click on “Request an account here.”
  3.  Fill in your name and email address. Choose a username that is easy to remember (e.g. Jane Doe might choose “janedoe” or “jdoe”).
  4.  Under “Course,” find your instructor’s name and the semester in which you are taking the course. For example, if your instructor for Spring 2015 is Dr. Smith, you would select SPRING15 Smith.” (If you are fulfilling an Incomplete from a previous semester, please choose your past instructor and corresponding semester as opposed to the current semester.)  It is very important that you select the CORRECT INSTRUCTOR AND SEMESTER from this list, otherwise your credits will not be visible to your instructor and they will give you an Incomplete for the course.
  5.  Click on Request Account.
  6.  Your username and a password will be emailed to you immediately. (If not, please check your Spam folder and make sure to allow notifications from queenscollege-admin@sona-systems.net).
  7.  Log-in with your username and password that were sent to you (you can change your password after you log-in).
  8.  The system will prompt you to answer a series of demographic questions. You can maximize your eligibility for research studies if you complete these questions. If you choose not to complete the questions, you will only be eligible for those studies that have no eligibility criteria. If you choose to complete the questions, once you do so, click on “Submit Pre-test”.
  9.  You will now be at the Welcome Page. You may want to CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD to something you can remember more easily. To change your password, click on “change your password” under the “My Profile” section.
