Module 1.3

Access to Your TCNJ Accounts

All faculty are issued an account and password upon the completion of the onboarding process. You will need this information for your first login to a campus computer. Information Technology will provide your assigned @tcnj.edu email address as part of the contract process. Your email account and password will give you access to PAWS and Canvas. PAWS, or Primary Academic Web Services, is TCNJ’s student/faculty/administrative information system. The first step in getting your account set up is submitting your contract for employment.

Have you returned your contract to HR?

Yes: Great! Continue to the next question.
No: Return your signed contract to HR. Your login credentials will be activated shortly after your contract and supporting documents are processed.

Are you able to sign into TCNJ's Single Sign-On page?

Yes: Great! Continue to the next question.
No, I do not have my TCNJ Account information to sign on.: Go to account.TCNJ.edu to retrieve your username and password. Log in to mail.google.com using your full TCNJ email address as the username. Then, sign in using Single Sign-On (you may see this abbreviated as SSO on college websites). If you cannot retrieve your information, please call or email the IT Help Desk and let them know you are a new instructor and you do not yet have access (609-771-2660; helpdesk@tcnj.edu)

Were you able to sign into Canvas?

Yes: Great! Once your department assigns you your courses, they will appear on your Canvas Dashboard. If you have access to Canvas but do not see your courses for the upcoming semester, please contact your department's program assistant.
