How to Get a Facebook Account Without a School Email

Always keep a current email address on file with Facebook.

While Facebook was once a platform available only to college students, the social networking site has since opened its doors to others. As long as you meet the age requirements and have an active email account, signing up for Facebook takes just a matter of minutes. If you are currently a student, visit the "Networks" tab of the "Account Settings" menu once you sign up to join a network containing your classmates.

Instructions

1. Point your Internet browser to the Facebook sign-up page.

2. Go to the "Sign Up" section on the right side of the page and enter your name and email. You can use any type of email address -- a work, personal or school address is acceptable. Just be sure that you currently have access to the email account at the time of sign up.

3. Use the drop-down menus to select your gender and date of birth. You must be at least 13 years old to join Facebook.

4. Click the "Sign Up" button to create your account. Check your email for a confirmation from Facebook. Click on the link in the email to confirm your identity and officially activate your account. You won't be able to sign in to Facebook until you click the confirmation link.
