• • CAS will send an email to the user
• The user must respond to that email within 48 hours in order to use the account.
  
  Note: after confirming the registration, SciFinder® will direct the user to https://scifinder.cas.org --- but this link will not work from off-campus.

Accessing SciFinder® after an account has been set up:

• • Access is via the SciFinder® site.
