  1. If you are on campus, you will proceed directly to the student portal. However, if you are off campus, you will see a message saying that more information is needed to verify your identity a second way. Click Next to follow the Multi-Factor Authentication process (see the MFA instructions or open the file below). If you have already set up your security method, you may get a security code sent to your phone or receive a notification from the Microsoft Authenticator app.  

One Time Only

  • If you have not secured your NWTC account yet and you have a mobile device, choose Mobile App, select the option to receive notifications, and then click Set Up (If you don’t have a mobile device, skip to the phone instructions below.) 
  • You will be asked to install the Microsoft Authenticator app for your device and add a Work or School Account. Then, you can scan the QR code or enter the code. Click Next to test the app and respond to the notification on your device. After the test, you will be asked to enter a phone number as a backup. 

Phone instructions

  • If you don’t have a mobile device, you can choose the Authentication phone option and either have a code sent by text or a call.  Click Next to receive the code. 
  • Input the code, then click Verify to access the site. You can add another device or change your settings at the Microsoft security site.

Remember to sign out when you are finished using the Student Portal.
