I am an employee so I already have Duo, how do I add my student account?

If you already have Duo and need to link your student account, please reach out to the ITS Service Desk as that will have to be added by them. You will not be able to enroll the same number on Duo yourself. Please be aware that due to security, you will be asked to verify your ID with a video call.

I can't download the Duo app on my phone, what do I do?

Duo has documentation stating that the current version of Duo Mobile supports Android 10.0 and greater, Android Go 10.0 and greater, and iOS 14.0 and greater.  Duo recommends upgrading to the most recent version of Android and iOS available for your device if possible. If not possible, you will have to go to the ITS Service Desk to request a Duo Token.

I already downloaded the app but I didn't activate the account, how do I activate the account?

If you have already enrolled and downloaded the app but found that you did not add the Central Piedmont account, please reach out to the ITS Service Desk at 704 330 5000 or submit a ticket stating that you need to activate the duo account. For reference, the duo app with an account added would look like the image below:
