NOTE

A Note from ACDIS: What do you mean ‘Log in?’ I am logged in!

Our customer service team gets calls from people who have trouble accessing the ACDIS website.  They’re logged in with their username and password—or think they’re logged in—but they’re actually not.

It’s confusing and it’s frustrating, but it is very easy to check if you are logged in.

Go to the ACDIS website and look at the black bar at the top of the page. Follow it over to the right. Do you see a green box with “Become a Member” and a small white icon of a person in a black box? If you do, you are not logged in.
