Welcome to the Southern Miss Tk20 website!

Student Account Activation:
To activate your Tk20 account you will need to subscribe to Tk20 either by purchasing a Student Access Kit from Barnes & Noble at Southern Miss or through the link at the top of this page. Activation usually takes 2-3 business days. You must use your USM email address when subscribing to Tk20.

Logins for Southern Miss Faculty, Staff, and Students:
Please use your SOAR login and password to access Tk20. The "forgot password" option will NOT work for you because your login is associated with the campus login system. If you do not have a SOAR password or you have forgotten your password, please contact the iTech Help Desk at (601) 266-4357.

Logins for Cooperating Teachers, Field Instructors, and Mentors:
Once field placements are confirmed and binders are published, the placement office will send you an email (via Tk20) that contains a direct link to your student teacher's binder. Please save this email so that you can use the direct link each time you wish to access the binder. If you do not receive this email in a timely manner and/or you experience any technical difficulties when trying to access the binder, please call the Office of Educational Field Experiences at (601) 266-4571.

If you experience technical difficulties when attempting to log in, access a binder, or upload files, try these steps before contacting support:
1) If you are a USM student, faculty, or staff member, be sure to use the correct username/password (see instructions above);
2) If you are a cooperating teacher, you can bypass the login page by using the direct link sent to you at the beginning of the term (see above);
3) Manually enter your username/password each time - for security reasons, Tk20 does not allow the use of "saved" usernames and/or passwords;
4) Try using a different browser (Chrome seems to work best);
5) Clear your Internet history - close all browsers/windows/tabs on your computer, clear your history/cookies/cache - open your browser, manually enter the Tk20 URL (usm.tk20.com), and then manually enter your username and password;
6) Call Tk20/Watermark Technical Support at 1-800-311-5656

If you still cannot access TK20 or have additional questions, please call the Tk20 Technical Support Team or the appropriate USM administrator listed below or email us at tk20@usm.edu. When emailing, please provide specific details about your issue and enough information so that we can properly identify you (for example, your role as student, faculty, cooperating teacher, your name as it appears in Tk20, your student id#, the course prefix and number, etc.). If you do not hear from anyone within one business day, please call the appropriate administrator listed below.
