To reduce complexity and effort for the student-athlete, we recommend that your institution create an institution email address for any incoming transfers that have signed with your institution. A temporary account should only be created if and only if all of the following statements are true:
The student-athlete is an incoming transfer from a four-year college to your institution
The student-athlete has deals they are required to report

An institution email (.edu) at your institution cannot be created for the student-athlete at this time
To provision a temporary account, you can visit the “Temporary Accounts” tab on your student-athlete access requests page. You will need the following information about the student-athlete to create their temporary account:
First and last name
NCAA Eligibility ID
Sport
Active non-institution email address
By creating their temporary account, you understand that your institution is responsible for inquiring with this student-athlete about any deals at their previous institution that your institution may need to know about. No deal history or account information will transfer from their previous institution account to their new institution account.
Once you have created the temporary account, the student-athlete will receive an email to the personal email address you entered for their account. From here, they can begin receiving links to log in to NIL Go from their personal email address, without filling out a registration form and submitting an approval request. This account will function the same as a normal NIL Go account; the student-athlete can enter/manage their deals and invite a representative.
Transitioning an account to an institution email address
Transitioning an account to an institution email address
When the student-athlete does receive their institution email, they should transition their account to their institution email. In order to do so, they should log out of their temporary account and enter their institution email on the log in page. From here, they should complete the standard registration form sent to their institution email address.
Your team will be asked to approve this account, which will update the email tied to their account, but will not erase any deal or account history. This means the student-athlete will still be able to manage pending deals and view closed deals. If they invited a representative, their representative would also retain access. Once your team approves the email address change, the student-athlete will only be able to log in with their institution email address, not their personal email address.
Only the student-athlete can initiate an email address transition, but it is recommended that you remind them to do so when you are made aware of their institution email address.
