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 Duo
Many Tarleton services require two-factor authentication (2FA) as an additional security measure. The 2FA provided for Tarleton is Duo. Enroll your mobile phone or land line in Duo, following these instructions.
If you require assistance configuring Duo, or require a 2FA option other than mobile phone or land line, 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
- Access your email account
- Office 365 resources including OneDrive and Teams
- Connect to Wi-Fi
- myGateway, a portal that provides faculty access to courses, enrollments, grade submission, ways to correspond with students, and other internal information
- Canvas, Tarleton’s learning management system
- Parking Services, a portal used to request and renew parking permits
- The Information Technology Service Desk
Step Five - Your UIN and the Texas A&M System SSO
As a member of the Texas A&M University System, Tarleton issues a Unique Identification Number (UIN) to all employees. The UIN is used to identify you within the payroll and employee services system. This unique nine-digit number was included in your introductory email.
Your initial login to the Texas A&M System SSO (TAMUS SSO) system requires use of your UIN. Follow these steps for UIN login setup for new employees.
- Under 'Choose Your Logon' select the TAMUS UIN option.
- In the UIN Logon section, choose 'New Employees - Set up your password'
- Click the Next button in the 'Setup for new employees and first time users' wizard
- Enter the UIN and Temporary Password. This temporary password will be provided to you by the TAMU System via email. If you cannot locate the TAMU System generated temporary password, contact Tarleton Employee Services for password reset assistance.
- Complete the setup wizard and change your password to something new.
Please note: your TAMUS SSO password is distinct from your Tarleton account. Changing your TAMUS SSO password does not affect your Tarleton State University account.
Tarleton faculty and staff must
configure Duo two factor authentication for TAMUS SSO during initial setup for new employees. This is an independent security requirement for TAMUS SSO and is not affiliated with your Tarleton account two factor configuration.
Once configured, you may continue using the the TAMUS UIN login option for the TAMUS SSO, but Tarleton faculty and staff are encouraged to use the "Choose Your Logon" option at
https://sso.tamus.edu/. Click on the purple Tarleton logo button to sign in using your Tarleton username and password.
The Texas A&M System SSO provides access to many System resources including:
- Workday – view detailed pay and deductions, sign up for electronic W-2, enroll or change direct deposit, update your address, phone etc.
- TrainTraq – complete System-required training courses, as well as any additional courses assigned based upon job duties
The Texas A&M University System requires all employees to complete the following online training courses within their first 30 days of employment:
- Creating a Discrimination Free Workplace
- Ethics
- Reporting Fraud Waste and Abuse
- Orientation to the A&M System
- Information Security Awareness
With the exception of the Orientation to the A&M System, these courses are required to be repeated on a periodic basis. You will be notified by email prior to the date when the training refresh is due.
