Web Services for New Students - Username and Password

This web page will help you get started using TSTC web services. You will find that many of our online services can be accessed using the same username and password. This is often referred to as your “WebAdvisor” username and password. You will find your username on the invoice you are given when you pay for classes. In most cases, it is your first initial, middle initial, last name, and a number (e.g. John Q. Smith – jqsmith123).
