# Sign up 
	
<!--Account creation You will receive a link as the first step in getting signed up to AiQU. -->
There are two ways to sign up for AiQu. 
You may have accessed an open registration link — perhaps by scanning a QR code — which directed you to a page where you provided your email address to register. 
Alternatively, an admin may have given you a unique sign-up link. 

Regardless of the method, both options lead to the same sign-up form.

The required fields are:
- Firstname
- Lastname
- Email (must be the same email as provided in the registration form earlier)
- Country
- Password
  
The optional fields are: 
- Phone number*

After you have confirmed your user information, a verification email will be sent to your email address. __You can only login after your email is verified__.
