If a first time user, you must create an account. Ask your teacher if they or the county has already created an account for you. If so, use that log in information. Once you log in with the teacher or county created information, you will be able to change your password. Make sure you make it something that is professional and something that you will remember year after year. For example: our students all use their passwords from their county log in for their Gacollege411 password. That way they will remember it each year.
