RIA Checkpoint - Semester Long Student Accounts
Before using RIA Checkpoint, you must activate your Panther Card with the Library. Call the circulation desk at 305-348-6719/305-348-2451 (University Park) or 305-919-5718 (Biscayne Bay) to activate your Panther Card.
To register for a course-related semester long account, follow these steps:
- Go to the Library home page (http://library.fiu.edu)
- If you are not on campus, initiate the EZproxy session by clicking on "Connect from Home" and following the instructions.
- Click on "Find Articles & Do Research";
- Under "Business", click on "Accounting";
- Beside RIA Checkpoint, click on link "Register for a student course-related account". (See illustration below.)
- Click check-box for RIA license (pop-up window); read and accept.
- Fill out the basic information required by the RIA Checkpoint registration; please use your FIU email account for the registration.
- You will receive by email confirmation and further information on how to use your account, which is good for the rest of the half-year period.
Please note: Trying to shorten this process by typing the URLs after activating the proxy (Connect from Home) actually de-activates the proxy and will cause a failure.
