  2. Choose one of the following activation methods:

    • Option 1: Send an activation link to your off-site email. Clicking the link will guide you through the activation process.

    • Option 2: If you don’t remember your off-site email or no longer have access to it, you can activate your account using a One-Time Token (OTT) and your username. Contact the IT Service Desk at 936-294-1950 to obtain a OTT. A photo ID verification will be required.
