  3. Log into TK20 using the following link: http://jsums.tk20.com/ Your username is your J-Number and your password is your NetID password. (Note: Never create a TK20 account. If you have logged into TK20 before, but are unable to log in now you may need to reset your NetID in PAWS. If you are a music, English, math, or physics education major that has never used TK20, you may not have an account. Please send an email to TK20help@551827.com).
  4. Once you log in click on “Applications” in the menu and select the appropriate “Admission to Teacher Education Application” based on your major (i.e. Elementary Education majors should select the elementary application, Music Education majors the music application, and so on).
