How can I get an account?

York St John now has a university wide Mentimeter license. All staff and students can go to https://www.mentimeter.com/auth/saml/yorkstjohnuniversity. You will be redirected to log in using Single Sign On, use your standard YSJ username and password.

But I already have a Mentimeter account with my YSJ email?

If you already have a Mentimeter account (free or paid) using your YSJ email address, this should convert to our site licence and you will no longer be charged for it. Any presentations or results that you already have attached to that account will be preserved.

But I already have a Mentimeter account with my personal email?

If you have an existing Mentimeter account (free or paid) using a personal non-YSJ email address, then you can either just create one with your YSJ email address, or we can transfer your old presentations and results over on request.
