Setting Your Password

Before you can use your accounts, you must change the password! Students currently have two accounts that access different systems.

To change your passwords online:

  • For your TTU domain account (for Live@edu and iLearn) 
    • Go to the Change your TTU domain password page
    • Enter your campus username.
    • Enter your old password. Initially this is your Tech Banner ID (T number)
    •  Enter your new password in both the New Password and Confirm Password boxes.
    • Click the Change Now button.
  • For your PC Lab domain account (for the campus lab computers, ionfolio, online library databases, ResNet and wireless access)
    • Go to the Change your PC Lab domain password page
    • Enter your campus username.
    • Enter your old password. Initially this is your Tech Banner ID (T number)
    •  Enter your new password in both the New Password and Confirm Password boxes.
    • Click the Change Now button.

Initially, the password to your these accounts is set to your TTU Banner ID (T number).

 

Selecting a Password

Decide on what you want your password to be. Choose a password of 6 or more characters, using letters, digits, and special characters. Your password is CASE SENSITIVE so whether a character is typed as a capital or small letter matters to the system. Be sure the CAPS lock is off. Do not use common English words found in the dictionary. You could use the first letters of a phrase with some numbers, such as "I am here to Learn until # 2012!" which would make your password: iahtLu#2012!  For more information view the TTU Password Policy.

Forgot your password?

  • If you have forgotten your password or having difficulties logging in:
    • Come to the Help Desk (phone: (931) 372-3975) in Clement Hall 313 lab (open days and evenings - see lab schedule)
    • Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm come to the glass window--Clement Hall 226 or call  (931) 372-3388.

 

Using the PC Labs

There are several University PC Labs for students to access.  Each student has their own PC Lab account and permanent disk space of 250 MB in the My Documents folder located on the U: drive.

Save your class work in My Documents (U: drive-Xythos) so that you can come back to it and continue to work on it from any lab location or from home. Flash drives may fail, so be sure to use the My Documents folder in the PC labs (U: drive) for important work. Backup all assignments to at least two places.

To logoff your PC lab account, double-click on the Windows Logoff icon on the desktop. Be sure that you have activated the logout and not just selected the icon without actually double clicking on it. If you do not logoff, someone else could use your account.

iLearn is the name of Tennessee Tech's Course Management System, powered by Desire2Learn.  If you are enrolled in an online course or a course that uses an online component, you will most likely be using iLearn. iLearn allows you to access course materials anytime, anywhere. You can also use it as a tool to collaborate with other students and engage in course related activities in a single environment.
