Read about the myTouro portal
What is “Single Sign-On” access?
Single Sign-On is a feature of the
portal that allows you to create a single unique
password that you can use to access not only
but also your other applications
(email, Blackboard, TCWeb, etc.) without having to use separate passwords to log into each
application. No more struggling to remember
and reset multiple passwords!
How can I sign up?
You will sign up by going to https://
mytouro.touro.edu/ and clicking on
“First Time Users” to complete a one-time
registration process. You will be asked to
enter your personal information, review
and accept the Terms of Use, create a
unique password, and set security questions. The entire process should take
about 10 minutes.
What if I have questions or a
problem?
The system is very user-friendly. The account
management system is available 24/7 on
a self-service basis, allowing you to change
your password and manage your account
information wherever and whenever you like.
You can solve some problems yourself, like
resetting a forgotten password or requesting a password change, by correctly answering
the security questions you created in setting up
the account.
