Zoom Instructions

If you are using a computer, you do not need to download Zoom to access the webinar. You can join via a web browser. If you do have a Zoom account, but do not want to sign in to join our session, you will need the meeting ID. Contact campusvisits@pdx.edu to get the meeting ID. We recommend the use of the Zoom app or browser and the newest Zoom version during this webinar as we will be referencing visual images throughout the presentation. If you do not have a computer or smartphone at hand, calling into the webinar will still provide you with important information.

If you encounter any technical difficulties while trying to log in, email us at campusvisits@pdx.edu and provide a phone number where we can return your call.
