Follow these steps to get started with your new Tarleton account.
Step One - Confirm receipt of your introductory email
Welcome to Tarleton. You received a welcome email from EMPLOYMENT@tarleton.edu containing essential account information, including your Tarleton (NTNET) username, Tarleton email address and initial password. This email was either sent to the alternate email you provided during the hiring process, or it was provided to your hiring manager. This account information is needed to complete the following steps.
Step Two - Complete account setup
To complete the setup of your Tarleton (NTNET) account, it is necessary to connect to your Tarleton email. Please reference your introductory email for details on your Tarleton email address and initial password.
Upon your first email sign in, you will be prompted to create a new password. This new password will last 365 days.
Follow the instructions in the "More Information Required" section of the email log-in prompt. Tarleton requires you to set up this secondary method of proving
identity verification.
Step Three - Complete two-factor authentication setup via Authenticator
Many Tarleton services require two-factor authentication (2FA) as an additional security measure. The 2FA provided for Tarleton is Microsoft Authenticator. Enroll your smartphone in Authenticator by following these instructions.
If you require assistance configuring Authenticator, or require a 2FA option other than your smartphone, you may
request assistance from IT Services.
Step Four - Using your Tarleton (NTNET) account
Your Tarleton (NTNET) account is your key to many on-campus computing resources and online services. Examples include:
- Log on to campus computers located in offices, labs and classrooms
