Resolving Access and Course Visibility Challenges
⚠️ Cannot access eLearn account / Forgot Password
Cause: Incorrect credentials or forgotten password for your universal TigerID.
Solution: Your TigerID and password are used across eLearn, TigerWeb, and Self Service Banner. If you've forgotten your password, you might need to reset it. Visit the IT Help Desk in person in the Library or call (423) 697-3375 for assistance. For account reactivation, you may need to use portal.office.com and set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) with a one-time password sent via text.
⚠️ Courses are not visible on my eLearn dashboard
Cause: Semester hasn't officially started, enrollment issues, or it's a TNeCampus course.
Solution: First, confirm that the semester has begun, as course sites typically appear on the first day. Check your enrollment status and course schedule in TigerWeb Self-Service. If your course section number starts with an 'R' (e.g., ENGL-1010-R50), it's a TNeCampus course, and you need to log in at https://gotoclass.tnecampus.org/. If these steps don't resolve the issue, contact the Chatt State eLearn Help Desk at (423) 697-2592 or email [email protected].
⚠️ Receiving a JavaScript disabled warning
