How do I create a Zoom account using the Wayne State license?

Licensed Zoom accounts are available for eligible Wayne State students, faculty, and staff:

  • Students must be enrolled for at least one class for the current semester.
  • Faculty must have an active teaching assignment.
  • Staff must be paid by Wayne State.
  • Retirees, Guest AccessIDs, and GroupIDs are not eligible to have a Zoom account under the Wayne State license.

To establish your Zoom account, visit
wayne-edu.zoom.us and use your AccessID and password to log in. If you get the error message 'Something went wrong while you tried signing in with SSO', follow the steps at kb.wayne.edu/500253.

Note that all Zoom accounts created before June 29, 2020, that were paid by Wayne State are eligible for a pro-rated refund. Wayne State finance teams can email billing@zoom.us to begin the process.
