SYSTEMS AT TSU

As a student or employee at TSU, your username and password will allow you into the following systems:

  • TSU network - (used for logging onto computers on campus)
    To use any system on campus, you must first login to the network!

  • myTSU - (myTSU is the student portal at TSU and is used for course activity, student financial info, and grades)

  • Office 365 LiveMail  - the email system for TSU students. All official TSU correspondence will be sent to this address.


And some students/employees will have access to:

  • eLearn (online courses)



HOW TO SETUP ---

STEP 1 - GET FAMILIAR

NOTE: MyTSU now uses the same username/password combination as other TSU systems!
The password for eLearn, Windows Live e-Mail, myTSU, and the campus network are the same.

Office 365 LiveMail: Please note that you must initially reset your password in order to enable your email account. Details are in the listing further below in Account Type "Office 365 LiveMail".

Set-up Passwords. Information on each system and how to setup your password for each system is listed below. Follow the instructions for "Network/Windows" first because, if you are on-campus, you must be able to log-in to the network before you can log-in to any other systems.

 

STEP 2 - SET YOUR PASSWORDS

NETWORK (the first login you encounter when on campus)

Used to access computers on both the main & downtown campuses of TSU ...allowing students to login to the TSU network to access the Internet, software applications, printers, other systems, etc.

HOW TO ACCESS
When you begin to use any computer on campus, the computer will first prompt you to login to the network.

The initial password is based upon your T-Number:
T (upper case) plus the first 5 digits of your T# plus "tsu" (lower case)
Example: If your T-Number = T12345678, your password will be T12345tsu

Password reset:
CTRL-ALT-DEL at a campus computer OR via Password Reset OR via www.tnstate.edu /password ".

After you have reset your password, your new password applies to your eLearn, Windows Live, myTSU and Campus network accounts. All four systems use the same log-in and password.
