Wait for Activation Notice

But, before you can use the password, your account must be manually activated by a site administrator.

You will receive a welcome letter from a site administrator--and when you do, you will know your account is active and you may use your temporary, one-time password to log on.

Create Your Permanent Password

IMPORTANT! You must create a permanent password for yourself as the first thing you do after logging in to the site using your one-time password.

After you log in, click the "my account" link you will find among the menu items in the left-hand column of the Home page.

(You will also notice your name displayed in this left-hand menu column, as indication that you are indeed logged in).

My Account Settings

Inside your account page, you will see a password entry form. Type a new password, type it a second time, and enter. Keep a record of your password. If you lose or forget this password, you can again request a one-time temporary password as explained below.

While inside your account settings page, you can also make other custom adjustments to your account, such as setting up notices to inform you when new content is added to the website.

Forgot Your Password?

If you forget your password, or can't find the e-mail with your initial password, you can obtain another. Look under the Login field on the left-side column of the Home page for a link that says "Request new password."

Click that link and a new password will be sent to the e-mail address you entered when you applied for your website account.

On your first log-in, you will need to go to your account page and set a permanent password, as described above.
