What is my username?
Usernames are uniquely assigned to every student and must be entered in lowercase at login. They are not the same as TSC Online usernames. Once students are admitted to TSC, the Admissions staff provides them with their username and default password. If they did not receive a TSC username, they can contact the Admissions office or stop by the Oliveira Student Services Building.
What’s my default password?
By default, your initial password is your First initial (CAPITALIZED) + Last initial (lowercase) + the seven digits of your student ID number. Example: Name: John Doe, ID Number: 1234567 = Jd1234567
I don’t remember my password. Can I reset it?
If you changed your password and set up your challenge questions in the self-service password utility site, you can return to that site, click on the “Reset Password” link, enter your username, and answer your questions. You will then be able to reset your password. You can use your default password if you did not set up your challenge questions and reset your password.
I don’t remember my password or the answer to my challenge questions. Can you reset the password for me?
Please use the TSC Help Desk to request a password reset.
Why can’t I log in?
There are a few reasons you might not be able to log in. You may not have the correct login information. Your username and password are the same ones you use to access TSC Online, Canvas, E-Mail, and the Self-Service Password Utility. Is your caps lock or number lock on? It is easy to click the caps lock or number lock keys and not know it. Usernames and passwords are sensitive to lower and upper case letters, so it is important to type carefully. Usernames must be input in lowercase letters for successful login.
I just received my username and password from Admissions. What do I do next?
Login with those credentials to pwreset.tsc.edu. Here, you will log in and change your password to your choice. Please remember that the password has to have one capital letter, 1 number, and a minimum of 8 characters. It cannot have any part of your username or include your ID# (Ex: Mytscpwd13). You can also set up your challenge questions in case you forget your password in the future.
Where do I access my TSC e-mail?
This will be the primary email TSC will use to contact you for official business. You can log in to your email by visiting www.TSC.edu/MyTSC and clicking the email icon. You can log in with your TSC username and new password. Your email address will be [email protected].
Where do I register for classes?
To register for classes, go to TSC Online by visiting www.TSC.edu/MyTSC and clicking the TSC Online icon.
How do I access the student wireless at TSC?
