Student Computing/E-Mail Accounts

Initial Setup & Explanation of Systems

As a student at TSU, you will have these three system log-ins:

  • TSU network login (used for logging onto computers on campus)
  • myTSU system login (myTSU is the student portal at TSU and is used for course activity, student financial info, and grades)
  • LiveMail (the email system for TSU students..  All TSU correspondence will be sent to this address.)

....and some students will have access to:

  • eLearn (some professors use this for course management)


To setup these three systems, please follow the instructions below:

STEP ONE

First step, look-up your TSU username - 

  1. Go to myTSU at myTSU.tnstate.edu.    
  2. Click "Retrieve Username & T-Number".  
  3. Provide the requested information.  

Your username and T-Number will be returned to the screen.

NOTE: The password for eLearn, Windows Live e-Mail, and the campus network login are the same, but myTSU uses a different password.

** FOR LIVE MAIL:   Please note that you must initially reset your password at a campus computer or at www.tnstate.edu/password to enable your Live Mail account to work properly.

 

STEP TWO

Then, get familiar with the accounts assigned to you.  Passwords are initially set to a combination of letters and numbers based upon information that is unique to you.  More information is below on each system and how to setup your password for each system.

Confirm the New Password:  Key in the new password again. 

After you have reset your password, your new password applies to your eLearn, Windows Live, and Campus network accounts.  All three systems use the same login and password.
