First-year students may begin textbook pick up on Wednesday August 12th.

- Login using your last name and date of birth with no leading zero and no slash marks. For example if your last name is JONES and your birthdate is 01/01/2000 then you would enter: JONES1012000  The initial password is Apple20$ (please change your password once you have entered the app.)
- Once you have successfully logged in, select “Trackers” at the bottom of your screen and then select “Symptom Tracker.”
