How teachers, administrators, and staff log in
How Students Log In
Note: To see student user names and passwords, on the Home page, select your name, then Manage Apps & Users. Select Users and then, on the Students tab, select Password Report. Use the drop-down lists to choose the class(es) you want to see and how students are grouped. The students will be listed with their user names and passwords. The password report may not be available on some sites.
- Start your web browser and go to the web address provided by your school or school network.
- Select I'm a Student on the Renaissance start page.
- If you know your user name, enter it in the first box.
- Enter your password in the second box.
Make sure you have the correct password. Your account can be locked if you try to log in several times with the wrong password. Student accounts unlock automatically after 5 minutes. If your teacher needs to unlock your account before then, your teacher can see Unlocking Your Students or view the student information and select Unlock Student on the Details tab. - Select Log In. You will go to the Home page, where you will see links for each product that your class is using.
Notes to the teacher:
- If some of the programs the student needs are not there, the school, school network, or Renaissance administrator should make sure the student is enrolled in the correct class and that a lead teacher was selected for the class and products were selected.
- If some products are not shown and the student sees a message instead, the Renaissance administrator has decided to restrict which computers students can use to work in some Renaissance products.
- Students may be asked to change their passwords if the administrator chose to require this when adding or editing student information. To change the password, the student enters the new password twice in the appropriate blank fields and selects Save.
How Personnel (Teachers, Staff, and Administrators) Log In
- In your web browser, go to the URL (web address) for your Renaissance site.
- On the Renaissance start page, select I'm a Teacher/Administrator.
It is asking for a Renaissance ID. What is that?
The Renaissance ID is a unique identifier for your site. After it has been entered once on a machine, you will not be asked to enter it again. If you do not know your ID, contact your local Renaissance administrator or customer support to get it. If you ever need to change the Renaissance ID, select Change after the ID before you log in with a user name and password.
- Enter your user name and password.
If you have forgotten your password, select Forgot password? below the Log In button. You can only use this feature if you have previously entered your email address on the Login Settings page and verified the address.
Passwords are case-sensitive; user names are not case-sensitive. If your CAPS LOCK is on, symbols could be substituted for numbers, causing the software not to recognize the user name or password.
- Select Log In.
If you try logging in multiple times and you see a message that your account is locked, ask your software administrator to unlock your account. Administrators can unlock one person's account by viewing the person's information and then selecting Unlock User or by unlocking all locked personnel accounts on the site. Locked personnel accounts also unlock automatically after 30 minutes. After your account is unlocked, make sure you have the correct password before you try logging in again.
- After you log in, you will go to the Home page.
If you go to the Login Settings page instead, the software or your administrator is requiring you to reset your password. Enter a new password and type it again to verify it. (You should also enter your email address if you have not already done so. These are used to verify your identity if you forget your password.) Then, select Save.
