You will then be prompted to create a strong, permanent password that is at least 15 characters long, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Regaining Account Access on MyTCTC
⚠️ Forgot Password
Cause: You have forgotten your current MyTCTC account password.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. The fastest way to regain access is to visit the account self-service portal at account.tctc.edu. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password. You will need your T-Number and birth date for initial password creation guidance, or use the available password reset options.
⚠️ "Expired password" message during login
Cause: You are attempting to use a default or temporary password on the main MyTCTC portal before completing the initial account setup.
Solution: Ensure you first log into account.tctc.edu to change your temporary password and complete the initial setup process. The default password is only valid on the account setup page, not on my.tctc.edu directly.
⚠️ Unable to find T-Number or username
Cause: You cannot recall your unique Tri-County Technical College identifiers.
Solution: First, check your official Tri-County acceptance letter. If you are still unable to locate your T-Number or username, contact the Service Desk at (864) 646-1779 for assistance.
⚠️ MyTCTC feature is not working as expected or you have a suggestion for improvement
Cause: This could be due to a technical glitch, a system limitation, or an opportunity for portal enhancement.
Solution: Utilize the feedback tools available directly within MyTCTC to report issues or suggest improvements. For instance, if the 'Holds' tile isn't fully updated, check the 'Student Profile' tile for the most current information.
