Tk20 by Watermark

Tk20 recommends using the web browser Google Chrome. Internet Explorer tends to cause the most issues with the Tk20 system.

Make sure your browser is up-to-date for the best Tk20 performance.

Avoid using your browser's "Back" button while working in Tk20. Use Tk20's buttons (Save, Cancel, etc.), tabs, and side menu items.

Do not open Tk20 in multiple browsers or tabs at a time. The system may not operate or save information correctly.

All students, regardless of affiliated major and college, enrolled courses requiring Tk20 must purchase an account and submit the appropriate coursework.

All types of licensure students are required to purchase Tk20. This includes, but is not limited to, transitional/job-embedded, add-on endorsement, CTE, INSL, and any other initial or advanced licensure programs.

Tk20 allows for 2-3 business days to activate student accounts after purchase. Students cannot log in until the account is activated.

Failure to purchase Tk20 can result in a zero for Tk20 assignments and/or final course grade reduced a full letter.
