Regaining Entry to Your Digital Services
⚠️ Cannot Access Your College Account
Cause: Incorrect username or password, or an account lock-out.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you've forgotten your password, look for a 'Forgot Password' link on the login page (specific to the Moodle/Canvas login you are using). For more general access issues with your Truro College credentials, or if you require a password reset, please reach out to Student Services directly. They can help restore your access quickly.
⚠️ Moodle or Canvas Course Not Appearing
Cause: Recent enrollment, course not yet active, or an instructor has not granted access.
Solution: After registering, allow up to 48 hours for new modules to appear in your course overview on Moodle or Canvas. If a course is still missing after this period, the best approach is to contact your course instructor first. If the issue persists, connect with Student Services for further assistance.
Keeping Your College Online Account Safe
- 🔒 Always use a strong, unique password for your Truro College Portal account, combining letters, numbers, and symbols.
- 🔒 Never share your login credentials with anyone, even if they claim to be college staff. The college will never ask for your password.
- 🔒 Log out of your online account every time you finish using the portal, especially on shared or public computers.
- 🔒 Be wary of suspicious emails or messages asking for your login details. These could be phishing attempts. Always verify the sender.
- 🔒 Keep your personal and contact information up-to-date within the portal to ensure you receive important security notifications.
