Creating a txConnect Account

How to Register as a New User

The registration process is self-administered. If you forget or lose your password, or wish to change it, you will go through an automated process to reset the password.

You must enter at least one valid student portal ID, which the campus provides. You must have a valid student portal ID for every student you want to add to your account. If you no longer have access to your child(ren)’s student portal id, you can contact the campus registrar.

Access your web browser (such as Internet Explorer) and enter the txConnect URL, https://txconnpa.esc13.net/PAFB/Login.aspx into the address bar. Once there, you may want to Bookmark (add to your Favorites) this site for future use:

From the Login page, click the link under New User to go to the Registration page:

Step 1:

1. In the User Name field, type a user name that will identify you when you log on to txConnect.

The user name must be six to nine characters and must be unique.
The user name is not case-sensitive (i.e., it does not matter if it is uppercase or lowercase letters).
If you type a user name that is already taken, the system notifies you that it is taken and you must choose another user name.

2. In the Password field, enter a password.

The password must be six to nine alphanumeric characters.
It must be a combination of at least 3 of the following: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and/or punctuation (e.g., aBc1234).
The password is case-sensitive (i.e., it must always be typed exactly as it is entered here, including uppercase and lowercase letters).

3. In the Confirm Password field, retype your password exactly as it was typed above.

4. The E-mail field is used to send attendance, grade average, and assignment alerts. It is an optional field.

5. Click Next.

If all required data was not entered, a red message is displayed to the right of each field that is missing data. That information must be provided before you can continue.
If the data was entered correctly, the Hint Question - Step 2 of 3 page is displayed.

Step 2:

1. In the Question field, select a question to which you will provide an answer. The question is asked in the event that you lose your password.

2. In the Answer field, type the answer to the question. You will be required to answer the question correctly in order to recover your password. You should select a question for which you will easily remember the answer. The answer is case-sensitive (i.e., it must always be typed exactly as it is entered here, including uppercase and lowercase letters).

3. Click Next.

If the data was entered incorrectly, a red message is displayed to the right of each field that has incorrect data. That information must be provided before you can continue.
If the data was entered correctly, the Add Students - Step 3 of 3 page is displayed.

Step 3:

1. In the Student Portal ID field, type your student’s portal ID provided by the campus. If you do not have this ID, you must contact the campus registrar to get the ID. You cannot continue without entering a valid student portal ID.

Note: The student portal ID must be typed exactly as it is printed (i.e., uppercase and lowercase letters).

2. In the Student Birth Date field, type your student’s complete birth date in the MM/DD/YYYY format (e.g., 01/19/1998). The date entered here must match the birth date in the student’s record at the campus. You cannot continue without entering the correct birth date.

3. Click Add. The student’s name is displayed in the Added Students box on the right side of the page.

You must successfully add at least one student in order to create an account.

4. You can repeat the previous steps to add another student or click Finish. The Summary page for the first student in your alphabetical list is displayed.

If you encounter any problems with this process, please first read the “What are the system requirements

for using txConnect?” document on the website and make appropriate changes. If you are still

experiencing difficulty setting up an account, please contact your campus registrar.
