Logging In

You can get to the Time Collection system either with a direct URL or through links from the Princeton University web site. When you log in to the Time Collection system, a new session is created, and if any other Time Collection session was open, it remains open. If you leave the session inactive for 30 minutes, the session will be terminated (timed out), and the Time Collection Welcome page will be displayed so you can log back in.

  1. In your web browser, type the URL www.princeton.edu/tc and press the Enter key to display the Time Collection Home page.

    Note: Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the recommended browser for Time Collection.

    2. Tip! To reach the Time Collection page from the Princeton home page, select Administration from the menu.
