Before you send a student to IT, please refer to the items below. DO NOT send a student to IT unless you call their office first. The majority of the login issues that have been encountered:
If the START buttons are grey and not blue, then the student most likely needs to log out of the system. They should enter the TestNav app from the start screen.
If a message appears that the username or password is incorrect, then NEW JERSEY was not selected. You can verify this by making sure it says NEW JERSEY under the TestNav logo. To fix it, there is a dropdown in the upper right-hand corner with the option to change the customer.
If the student repeatedly has to be resumed, then the student device has unstable Wi-Fi connection issues which IT can remedy.
The 2023 ECST Math Department competition will be called
