TO ENSURE SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION,

will begin at 9:00 AM on July 17, 2015 and end at 5:00 pm on August 24, 2015.
The following step-by-step instructions will guide you through the on-line
registration process:
1. To select your Fall 2015 courses, first obtain a list of eligible courses issued by your
program office.
2. Go to the computer lab or access the Internet from any computer; log onto the Touro
myPortal website at mytouro.touro.edu. If you are experiencing an issues logging onto
your portal account, please contact the portal help desk at 1.855.MYTOURO
(855.698.6876).
3. If you have already synchronized your TC-Web account with the portal, you can access
your TC-Web account by clicking the student TC-Web link located in the Quick Launch
Navigation panel.
If you are a first time user or you have login difficulties please follow the instructions
located on your portal account on the top of the welcome page.
If you forgot your password or have been locked out of TC-Web please get in contact with
the Office of the Registrar to restore your TC-Web access by sending e-mail to
[email protected].
4. If there are any holds on your student’s account, you will NOT be able to register for any
courses until the hold has been cleared. To clear your holds you should contact the
department from which the hold originates and do whatever is necessary to have it
removed:
 Bursar Office: Elena Sandalova – (212)463-0400, ext. 5297 or

[email protected]
 Portal: 1-855-myTouro (855)698-6876
5. First check the upper right-hand corner of the TCWeb screen to make sure you are in
correct semester. If not click on “Change Terms” and click on semester you would like to

 You are allowed to register only for the courses approved by your advisor.
 You may not register for more than TWELVE (12) credits; if you attempt to
register for more than this number of credits, the on-line system will
automatically block you.
 Two types of courses are ineligible for on-line registration: (1) undergraduate
courses that you may need to take and (2) possibly certain other courses in
your program – contact your program office to find out which courses they
are. You will need to register for both types in person.
10. When you have finished entering all of your courses, click on the link shown to go to the
“My Schedule” to review your registration carefully to make sure all of the information is
correct, then print the screen showing the completed registration and keep it for future
reference.
11. Be sure to log out from TC-Web screen by clicking “Log out” on the upper right-hand corner
of the screen.

indicated above. If you need to register after is has ended, please contact your
program office to find out about in-person manual registration.
REMINDER: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR REGISTRATION.
Although the Registrar’s Office monitors the records of on-line registrants, it cannot
assume responsibility for your errors or any attempts to circumvent the system,
which may have serious consequences for you. This holds true whether such
problems are discovered immediately or later on in your academic career at Touro.
