Cardbox accounts at the University of Louisville are created as userID@louisville.edu.

When requesting a Cardbox account, if the user has previously created a personal Box.com account using userID@louisville.edu that Box.com account will be sent an invitation to join the U of L instance of Box.  The user should receive the invitation email in their University email account.

The user can follow the link in the invitation email or manually go to box.com in a web browser and click on Log in, where they log in with userID@louisville.edu and the password they created for their personal account.



NOTE: This password is NOT synchronized with the user's ULink password.



If the user cannot remember their personal Box.com password, they can change it using the Reset Password link on the Box.com Log In page.

Once logged in to their personal Box.com account, they should receive a pop-up box inviting them to the University's instance:





After the invitation has been accepted, the user will be able to log in via louisville.box.com using their University credentials (ie, userID and ULink password).
