How do I log in? (read more)

First, you'll need to know your TESC username and password. If you're not familiar with these, they are defined below. Both are determined by the name and birth date you provided Registration.

Your username is the combination of:
1) the first three letters of your last name,
2) the first three letters of your first name, and
3) the 2 digit day of the month you were born.

Your password is the combination of:
1) the 2 digit day of the month you were born,
2) the first three letters of the month you were born (all lowercase), and
3) the 2 digit year you were born.

As an example:

If you were Ima Greener, born May 5th, 1980,
Your username would be "greima05".
Your password would be "05may80".

Once you have your username and password, you can click on the "login" link on the left, and you will be directed to the Evergreen Central Authorization page. Enter your username and password, and hit enter, and you'll be directed back to this website.
