Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • Computer with Internet access
  • Valid email address

Sign Up for Facebook

  • Step 1:
    Visit Facebook and click on "Register" to get started. Before you sign up, you can "Take the Tour" or look for friends (see Resources below).
  • Step 2:
    Fill in your name, email address and birthday. You will also be asked to select if you're in college, at a company, in high school or none of those. What you select will determine your main network.
  • Step 3:
    Check your email. A confirmation will arrive with a link to confirm your email. If you don't see it right away, check you spam or junk mail folder.

Join a Network

  • Step 1:
    Log in to Facebook with your email address and password. On your first log in, you will land on a page with directions for joining a network.
  • Step 2:
    Join a regional network. Under "Join a Regional Network," type in your city and state. The box should auto-complete your entry. Facebook will let you know the network closest to you. Select the radio button next to the region you want to join.
  • Step 3:
    Connect with co-workers and classmates. You must enter a verifiable email address from an approved company or school to join the corresponding network (see Resources below).
  • Step 4:
    Set up your profile and look for friends. Once you have joined Facebook, you can start adding friends and coworkers. Fill in as much detail as possible on your profile so people can find you easily.

Tips & Warnings

  • Verify your account to avoid constant security checks. On your homepage after login, just enter your mobile number in the correct box and hit "Confirm." A code will be sent to your cell phone as a text message. Return to Facebook with that code to verify your identity.
  • If you run into problems registering, visit the Facebook Help section (see Resources below).
  • If you want to keep your profile as private as possible, avoid joining a regional network, which is open to anyone.
  • Choose a password with a combination of numbers and letters. Your Facebook account holds a lot of personal information about you, so you don't want your password to be easy to guess.
