ELAR Users

Accounts that failed to pre-register will need to be reactivated. Note: 'Forgot Username' and 'Forgot Password' tools will not have functionality for accounts that have not been reactivated. For ELAR users, a link to reactivate their account can be located on the bottom lefthand quadrant of the Education Security Portal login page.

ESP Login page with ELAR quadrant highlighted. Contains helpful information indicating new users will need to create an ELAR profile, existing users will need to reactivate their account if they did not pre-register, and more information about ELAR.

Upon clicking the link, users will be prompted to verify themselves by providing information from their ELAR profile. This will include first and last name, date of birth, and Social Security number. Due to this, users must enter this information exactly to what is on record for that user. Note: Please contact ELAR if you are unable to reactivate your account.

If the user registered for the new portal, then after submitting the verification information, the user will be presented with a screen that states they have already registered with a link to reset their password.

After the user has verified themselves, they will be prompted to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication ( MFA) to complete the registration process. User will enter their email address and click validate. Then, user will receive an email with a verification code and enter this on the Account Reactivation page.
