When Digital Access Becomes a Challenge
⚠️ Forgotten Password
Cause: You cannot recall your password for your NYLS online account.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you've forgotten your password, you will typically need to use a password reset utility if available on the login page. If not, or if you encounter persistent issues, contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance with regaining access. They can help reset your credentials securely. You can reach them at [email protected] or 212.431.2300.
⚠️ Exam Number Retrieval
Cause: You need to find your assigned exam number for a test.
Solution: To find your exam number, log into the NYLS Portal. Navigate to Registration and Records and then select the View Exam Numbers tab. You might need to re-enter your login information. For issues or previous semester numbers, email [email protected].
⚠️ Difficulty Accessing ExamSoft
Cause: Problems logging into or using the ExamSoft software linked via the portal.
Solution: Your ExamSoft UserID is your NYLS student ID without the '@' symbol and any leading zeros (e.g., if your ID is @00045678, your UserID is 45678). Your password would have been emailed to you. If issues persist with the ExamSoft application itself, contact [email protected].
Ensuring the Integrity of Your NYLS Information
- 🔒 Always use a strong, unique password for your NYLS online account and avoid sharing it.
- 🔒 Be vigilant about phishing attempts; NYLS will never ask for your password via unsecured email.
- 🔒 Log out of your student dashboard after each session, especially when using shared computers.
- 🔒 Regularly review your academic records and personal information for any unauthorized changes.
