EXCELSIOR User Registration Instructions:
A newly created EXCELSIOR account must be registered by the user before login can occur. If a user has participated in other clinical trials using the EXCELSIOR software application, they will keep the username and password already established for other studies.
- A notification e-mail from registration@meritcro.com will be sent to a user for any newly created EXCELSIOR account so that the user may register the account.
Note: Add registration@meritcro.com to contacts in order to prevent this and other EXCELSIOR emails from being delivered to a junk e-mail folder.
- Select the link in the e-mail to access the EXCELSIOR account setup page.
Note: Google Chrome is the recommended internet browsers to use with EXCELSIOR.
- On the Registration form, complete the required fields:
