Login Issues?

Google Chrome recently released some updates that resulted in Apache Access login issues. Our vendors are aware of this issue and working to resolve it. In the meantime, students are encouraged to follow the instructions/troubleshooting suggestions below when logging into Apache Access.   

Solution 1: Use an Alternative Browser when Logging into Apache Access   

Students logging into Apache Access should use an alternative browser like Firefox until the Google Chrome login issue is resolved. If you are unable to utilize an alternate browser, please try using an incognito window or clearing your browser cache (instructions below)  

Solution 2: Use Incognito Window in Chrome

  1. While in Google Chrome, hold Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS) to open a new Chrome incognito window.
  2. A new Chrome window will appear and you can go to www.TJC.edu and login as normal

Note for Dual Credit Students: Some ISD’s restrict the use of incognito windows on ISD provided computers.

Solution 3: Clear Browser History (Cache) in Chrome (shortcut) 

  1. While in Google Chrome, hold Ctrl-Shift-Delete (Windows) or Command-Shift-Delete (macOS) keys together.
  2. Click on “Advanced.” Make sure the following boxes are checked. If checked these boxes will be highlighted in blue.

Apache Access 'Authentication Failed' Message

If an 'Authentication Failed" message occurs when logging into Apache Access, it may be related to your password. 

Step 1: Double-check that you are using the correct password when logging in.
