   Note: You must use your JHU email address because this is how BitBucket determines whether you are a student or instructor when generating your account.
4. Set up your account by adding your full name and password
5. You will receive a verification email. Check your JHU email and click the Verify button in the email from BitBucket
6. Enter a username and click Continue
