In this lesson, you will learn how to log in, log out, and manage your Illuminate account.
Your Illuminate System Admin will have your account and site information. To get started, make sure to retrieve the following information to log in and get illuminated:
- Your site's URL for Illuminate Education (e.g., districtname.illuminateEd.com)
- Your username and password for Illuminate Education
- Computer and Internet access
- Open your favorite internet browser (i.e., Chrome, Safari, etc.)
- Open your preferred browser and type your district's URL, or web address, at the top of your screen. Press Enter on your keyboard.
- If someone has given you the website link electronically (e.g., in an email), you can visit the site by simply clicking the link in the email message.
- Often you can find the address as a link on your district's staff portal, as well.
3. Log In
The Basics
- Enter the username given to you by your district administrator.
- Enter the password given to you by your district administrator. Passwords are also "case sensitive," meaning that if characters are set up as capital or lowercase letters, they must be typed that same way when logging into the system.
- Select Sign In to get started! You will then see the Dashboard where you can choose from a host of options with your Illuminate account.
For users who use Google Single Sign On or Google SSO, simple select Sign in with Google! You will be prompted to authenticate your account.
If you need password assistance, contact your Site's Google System Administrator as Illuminate's Forgot Password will not be helpful to you.
Other Options
- Forgot your password? While your System Admin can help, you can reset your own password. Simply select Forgot Your Password to receive an email to reset your password.
I didn't receive an email to reset my password! If you didn't receive an email while trying to reset your password, it is possible your district did not provide an email address to your account. Check with your System Administrator for assistance.

- Fabulous little illuminators highlighted change periodically. This image may change upon login.
- Type the new password you would like to have.
Password Tips!
- Password must contain at least 1 letters.
- Password must contain at least 1 uppercase letters.
- Password must contain at least 1 non-alphanumeric characters.
- It must contain no spaces.
- Passwords are "case sensitive," which means if you capitalize a letter now, you will have to capitalize it later for the password to work (and if you type a lowercase letter now, you will have to use a lowercase letter later).
- Type the same password you typed above in the Confirm Password section.
- Click Change Password.
Congratulations! You have now successfully changed your password. Just in case, make sure to write it down or keep it somewhere safe.
