To remove single pages:

  1. Navigate to the page you would like to remove (for example, click on the link in your My RAND box).

5. Why Can't I Login to My Account?

When I Try to Reset My Password, It Says the Email Address Does Not Exist

The email address field is case sensitive. When you login, make sure that you capitalize your email address in the same way that you registered with it. If you are applying for a job or completing a job application, see the section below (For Job Applicants).

For Job Applicants

The My RAND login is separate from the job application login. To review and/or complete your current job applications, click this link and the RAND jobs application website will open. You can also visit the Employment homepage and click the "Login" button under the "Returning Applicants" section on the page.

For American Teacher Panel Participants

The My RAND login is separate from the American Teacher Panel login. If you have received login instructions from the American Teacher Panel, please follow those. If you are still having login problems, you may contact them directly for further assistance at atp-aslp@rand.org.

For RAND Staff

Your My RAND account uses a separate password from other accounts you may have at RAND. It is not linked to your internal password(s). If you cannot remember your My RAND password, visit the Request Password Reset page and follow the instructions to reset your password.

6. How Do I Delete a My RAND Account?

To delete a My RAND account, contact us through the My RAND Help Form. Be sure to provide the email address associated with your My RAND account. We will contact you by email to verify that you would like to delete your account.
