- For APU patrons, click the TOP part of the box "Log in with your APU CAS account."
- For nursing preceptors you will need to click the BOTTOM part of the OpenAthens box (the 3rd choice) "OpenAthens Sign in with an OpenAthens account."
4) If you already have an UpToDate personal account, you will need to merge your personal account with an APU UpToDate account. Do do so follow the directions on this LibGuide
5) If you only use an UpToDate native login ("native" means only using the username and password you created for UpToDate and not the OpenAthens link plus your APU UserNet ID and Password), know that you must verify your APU affiliation every 90 days by logging through the UpToDate OpenAthens link. Five days before the expiration date, UpToDate will send you an e-mail reminder to re-verify your account. Click here to see an example of the email. Also, content in your app version must be updated when prompted.
