Can we use applicant’s email addresses as their usernames?
At this time, you cannot use an email address as the username for standard PowerSchool Learning Authentication because it contains the not-so-web-friendly @ character. Many of our schools use the email address with a period in place of the @ symbol, and that seems to be helpful!
