I have forgotten my username or password. How do I find it?
Please email help@jacksonvillecollege.edu stating you have forgotten your username or password
Do I need to do anything to set up or activate my accounts?
No. We will create your accounts for you and send an email to you with instructions for logging into your accounts. You do not need to do anything.
I didn't receive an email with login information. What do I do?
That email would have been generated shortly after you were admitted, and sent to the email address you gave as your Permanent email address. It would have come from help@jacksonville-college.edu, and would have had the subject line, “New User Accounts Created at Jacksonville College”. If you can’t find it in either in your Inbox or Junk mail/Spam, then send an email to help@jacksonville-college.edu requesting your login credentials, preferably from that same Permanent email address. If you include the PIN you used when you filled out your application, that will expedite the process, but it isn’t absolutely necessary.
Why am I suddenly unable to log into Moodle?
Log into EMPOWER and make sure that there are no holds on your account. Certain holds may result in temporary suspension of your MOODLE account. If you see that you have a hold, contact the office that placed the hold on your account.
How do I communicate with my instructor by email?
Do NOT use MOODLE to communicate with your instructor. Your instructor won’t get the email. You must email your instructor directly using the email address that is provided in the course syllabus.
How do I contact tech support to get help?
You can create a help ticket, by emailing help@jacksonville-college.edu. Please supply as much detail as possible about your problem. You may also contact the helpdesk by phone at: (903) 589-7118. The IT Helpdesk hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

I need the Safe Exam Browser. How do I get it?
The Safe Exam Browser is available at
https://safeexambrowser.org/download_en.html
When you arrive to the page, you will have to select the operating system you are using (Windows, Mac, etc.) and that section will allow you to download the latest version available.
This test says I need the Safe Exam Browser, but when I try to take the test, I only get the option to download it, not take the test. I’ve already downloaded it. What’s wrong?"
The Safe Exam Browser is a separate browser, instead of a plugin or an extension installed in your regular web browser. On Windows, it has its own icon on your desktop. You take your test by starting the Safe Exam Browser from its icon. It will automatically open to the Jacksonville College Moodle login page. From there, navigate to your class and SCROLL DOWN to the test you’re trying to take. As you take the test, be sure to give the pages enough time to load or you may see an error message like, “Error: Unable to continue. – The browser failed to retrieve user information from the server”.
