Important URL Details

EdReady for Texas College Bridge uses custom registration links to allow students to self-register for the program. Any student who has one of your links will be able to register: student rosters are not used and no pre-provisioning of student information is needed. 

Teachers should contact their local ISD or school administrator for these URLs. They are not available in a teacher's TCB admin interface.

As an ISD kicks off use of Texas College Bridge, the primary coordinator(s) will be sent your district's registration links via email.  

Anyone with an ISD Administrator or School Administrator account can also access the district URLs via the EdReady interface using the instructions below. You need to provide these URLs to the teachers in your district.

IMPORTANT: 

  • College Prep Students: all College Prep students should be given the College and Career Support goal. Make sure you select that goal in addition to any subject-specific goal(s) when generating registration links.
  • Test Prep Students: there are two goals - Study Paths and Tests - available for both subjects (Math & English). Ensure that you select both when generating registration links.

4. Click on the Goals tab: you will see all current and historical goals for your district listed. If your district has participated in more than one year of Texas College Bridge, you may see more than one goal for each subject.

IMPORTANT: You will see goal keys listed in the table here: while new students must sign up for Texas College Bridge with a registration link, students who already have an account can log in and use a goal key to join a goal. You can find more details on how a student can enter a goal key HERE. 

5. Select the goal(s) a student will need to register for using the checkboxes in the first column, then click the Generate Registration URL button.

IMPORTANT!

You MUST select at least one goal, or the registration link will fail. Be sure to select goals with the current school year in the title. The link will be long, with the word "products" and a string of characters after the institution number. A link that ends with the institution number will fail.

YES: https://texascollegebridge.nrocportal.org/register?institution=999999&products=ND9U7MTE2OTE2X2VuZ2xpc...

NO: https://texascollegebridge.nrocportal.org/register?institution=999999 << will not work

The URL that is generated will be used to enroll the student into all selected goals: each student should only be provided links for one of the following combinations:

    1. TX Math Bridge - <schoolYear> and 
    2. College and Career Support - <schoolYear>
