Activating a new account

Welcome to Power PTC! In order to create a new account you will need an activation code as activation code is just a 12 character code that will allow you to create an account on Power PTC.

If you already have an account on Power PTC, you don’t want to create a new account, you will want to add the activation code to an existing account.

If this is the first activation code you are using, then perform the following:

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to the address of you school’s Power PTC server. This address should have been provided to you by your student’s school or district.
  2. At the Power PTC login screen (pictured below) click the link titled Activate a new account
    .
  3. On the activation code page (pictured below) you will be prompted to enter the activation code provided to you. Enter the code and click Activate Account.
  4. On the new account screen (pictured below), you will be prompted to enter:
    • Username – This can be anything you wish but it must be unique on the system.
    • First Name – Used in mailings and reports for your student’s teachers.
    • Last Name – Used in mailings and reports for your student’s teachers.
    • Email Address – Used to recover lost passwords as well as for notifications from the school.
    • Password – Used to secure your account and keep your information private.

  5. After your account is created you will be returned to the login screen where you will be able to login with your newly created account.
