How do I get access (a.k.a. getting a TCN account)?

If you are a School of Technology student (student officially majoring in an SOT program):

• You must obtain your TCN Career account to access many of the pages in this web site as well as the labs in Knoy Hall as they require the use of a TCN login and password. You will need your Purdue Student ID and your Purdue Career ID (click here for information on obtaining your Purdue Career ID) to gain access to this information.
• If you have your Purdue Student ID and your Purdue Career ID, access the following site to obtain your TCN Career Account information: https://www.tech.purdue.edu/tcn/information/accounts/

 
Note that TCN Career Account information is generated based upon information provided by the Registrar. If your information is being withheld by the Registrar, an account cannot be generated until the information is released by the Registrar. If the link above does not provide information for you, you may need to contact the Registrar to determine why your student information has not been forwarded to TCN.

If you find the TCN Career Account information database does not find an entry for you, you may use a temporary account to temporarily gain access to the pages in this site, as well as the TCN labs. Email your professor to find out what the temporary account login and password is. The temporary account login does not have file storage space and will only be active for the first 3 weeks of the semester. Thus you will need to resolve any outstanding issues and gain your own personal TCN Career Account information before the third week of the semester.
 

• Once you have your TCN Career Account login and password, if you are prompted for a login, password and domain while browsing this site, enter your TCN Career Account login and password. Use SOT for the domain. You can also use this information to log into the TCN laboratories in Knoy Hall.

• You need to obtain a temporary, TCN Semester Account. See the professor or the lab instructor to obtain one. Typically these are available at the first laboratory meeting.

• You must use the PST login for access to the site.
