Technology Starter Kit

Most of the following resources are available directly from the Office of Technology Services (OTS).

Below is a condensed, focused list of resources for the new faculty member.  Be sure to scroll down past the critical technologies to find out how to use automated class email distribution lists, set-up your mobile devices, and connect to Towson resources off-campus.

Account Activation

Once your department processes your paperwork and officially designates you as the instructor in a course, you should be able to activate your account. When you activate your account you will receive your official NetID (username) and can then set your password.

Once activated, you should soon have access to all of the Towson technology systems you will need.

Critical Technologies

There are four systems with which you can access almost all critical faculty resources. Each one can be accessed online using your Towson NetID through the Towson portal:

• mytu.towson.edu

Login information and help resources for each system are provided below.
