If you are the person trying to gain access, you should please do the following:

2. Visit the UCSC WordPress site.
3. On the page, the click the “1. A user creating a WordPress account with their CruzID.”
4. You should log on with your CruzID.
5. The website reloads the first page so it is difficult to tell if anything has happened.
6. Tell anyone with the administrator level access on your site that you have clicked that link and logged in. 
7. Then as soon as the administrator has time, they will be able to add you and can email you to let you know.

For the administrator:
