Managing Alumni Accounts and Authenticated Student Accounts

If a student is no longer part of the institution, it is recommended that their primary role is switched from Student to Alumni.

Alumni Role

Switching a student account from Student to Alumni can be done from the user interface by the UA. Please see the steps below to complete this task.

  • Create the Alumni Role: Administration Security Roles Create New Role Complete Role Configuration Set this role to be locally authenticated Create

The section showing an Authentication Source field set to Local.

Note: Make sure to provide the Alumni role access to the correct tabs and menu items in the system. Creating a New Role to access our Help Center guide to help you with this task.

  • Change role from Student to Alumni:
    Administration Users Add/Change Role Search for User Select User Next Display and select Alumni as the Primary Role Update

The role settings section showing a Primary Role field and an Additional Role(s) field, with the Primary Role dropdown expanded to display options such as Alumni, Applicant, Application Reviewer, Application Reviewer‑Education, Application Reviewer‑Social Work, Cooperating Teacher, and Faculty.

A second option will be to submit a request to our support team by clicking Submit A Request (subject: Tk20 Role Change) on the top right and bottom center of any Help Center page. In your request, you will need to provide the student ID associated to their Tk20 accounts, their previous role and the new and desired role (see screenshot below).

The excel table showing columns Student ID, Old Role, and New Role, listing two records where both students move from the role Student to Alumni.

Alumni Access

Since the alumni role is set to be locally authenticated, users will need to log in directly to their institution’s tk20 server (https://school.tk20.com) and use their Tk20 username as username and their Tk20 PID as their password. After logging in for the first time, alumni will be prompted to change their password.  If alumni are not able to log in, they can request a password reset by contacting our Support Team by clicking Submit A Request (subject: Tk20 Alumni Password) on the top right and bottom center of any Help Center page.

The login page showing Username and Password fields above a Log Into Your Account button, followed by links for forgotten credentials and account purchase. A Students section provides instructions for logging in through the university portal, and an Alumni section explains using the TK20 username and student ID to sign in and update the password. The page ends with administrator contact details including email and phone number.

Have a Plan

Let students know that they have access to their Tk20 accounts and provide information that can help them access their accounts.

You can use the Resources area from your Tk20 log-in page to provide alumni with their log-in information (see screenshot above).
