In this lesson, you will learn how to log into Illuminate with your Google Single Sign-On (SSO) 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.
- 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.
- Enter your Google Email "Gmail" Address.
- Select Next.
- Verify it is you, by entering your password.
- Select Next, to continue.
- Use your preferred process to complete the 2-Step Verification and place the provided code in Enter Code.

If your username or gmail address cannot be found or authenticated, you want to contact your Districts G-Suite Admin to assist you further.
- If you use multiple Illuminate tools, we may ask how do you want to start illuminating your day. Select the tool or product you wish to start.
- If you do not have more than one Illuminate tool, you will not see this page and be directly taken to your account.
Illuminate App Picker
