Gateway Passwords

You need a user name and password just for the MapleTA system. How to get one:

  1. Go to the password page.
  2. Enter your KU user name and password (the one you use to access Enroll & Pay).
  3. Click on the button that says "Submit".  (Some people see a screen telling them that they need to update their KU password.  That is an issue with your KU online ID.)
  4. It will redirect you. Click ONCE on the link that says "Retrieve your password".
  5. Carefully look at your user name. It may be a little bit different than your KU one. CAPITAL and lowercase letters matter!
  6. Click on the link "Click here to set your password!" and enter the password you would like in each box.  This is now your password.  You should remember it.
  7. Follow the link to login to MapleTA.
  8. Put in your username and password.

If you have a problem, you are able to go through the process again.  Close the browser, reopen it, and start at step 1 and try again. 

Now you are set to take an exam.
