On this page:

Former Tim Tickets users will be able to migrate their guest account/Digital MIT Guest ID to Atlas. Open the Tim Tickets app, login, and follow the prompts to migrate your account/mobile ID to Atlas.

Overview

In order for a visitor to be issued an invitation for an MIT Event and access that event, each visitor must:

  • Have a non-MIT email address (e.g. @gmail.com @verizon.net etc)
  • Provide contact information (name, phone number/email address)
  • Install the MIT Atlas mobile application on their supported device
    • iPhone (device must be running iOS 14+)
    • Android (device must be running Android 7+).
  • Set up their MIT Guest account and MIT Guest ID

Set Up MIT Guest Account

Visitors must set up their guest account and MIT Guest ID in order to request access, accept invitations, and access campus for their visit. These instructions cover how to set it up without having been sent an individual invitation link to set up your account. If you have been sent an invitation link, some of the information may be auto-populated in the form as the person who invited you already provided that information.

  1. Download and Install MIT Atlas
    • iPhone (device must be running iOS 14+)
    • Android (device must be running Android 7+).
  2. Open MIT Atlas
  3. Select Visitor
  4. Enter your email address and select Continue.

    Result: If this address is not already associated with an MIT Guest Account, you will be taken to the account creation screen. If you already have an account, you don't need to do this and will be prompted to login instead.
  5. Enter your invitation code and select Continue
  6. Update your personal details (if necessary).  When done select Create at the top right
  7. Enable 2 Factor Authentication and select Continue

Activate Your Guest MIT Mobile ID

Screen shots may vary by platform. These examples were taken on an Android device.

  1. Open the Atlas app
  2. Authenticate using your visitor account
  3. Select the MIT ID tile 
  4. Select Add profile photo
  5. Review photo requirements and add a photo by selecting Upload photo
  6. Select Manage MIT ID
  7. Select Add to device to add Mobile ID to your phone
  8. Mobile Id is now active. Allow up to 30 minutes for activation to complete


NOTE: Once your Mobile ID has been added, it can take up to 30 mins before the Mobile ID is fully activated. For more, see: MIT ID FAQ
