Overcoming Account Access Barriers at TCC
⚠️ Forgot your password or account is locked?
Cause: Incorrect password attempts or forgotten credentials.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. The fastest fix is to use the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) feature. If you've registered your authentication methods, you can reset your password online. If not, or if you continue to have trouble, contact Tech 24/7 at 817-515-8324 for immediate assistance.
⚠️ Login screen says email/username does not exist.
Cause: Possible incorrect email entry or account recovery needed.
Solution: First, double-check your my.tccd.edu email address for typos. If the issue persists, complete the TCCD Account Recovery Form. After recovery, you'll receive login instructions at your personal email. If you don't know your student ID or email, call the Information Center at 817-515-8223.
⚠️ Links within Hello!TCC (e.g., payments) are not working.
Cause: Browser cache conflicts from accessing multiple accounts.
Solution: This often happens if you've used the same browser for other accounts. Clear your browser's history and cache, then attempt to log in again.
