Cause

Possible causes:

  • Your account is eligible for TechMail (@ttu.edu email) service but you have not yet created your mailbox.
  • Your account was just recently activated.
  • Your admissions status was just recently applied.

Resolution

1) If you recently created your TechMail address and get this error while trying to register for classes, please go to https://registration.texastech.edu.

2) Check to make sure that your TechMail account has been activated. If not, activate it.

3) If your mailbox was already activated, do one of the following apply?

  • You activated your account within the last 24 hours.
  • Your admission status was just applied to your account within the last 24 hours.

If so, you may need to wait another day or two before your admission status has updated in all systems to allow you to access Raiderlink.

4) If the items above did not apply, please contact IT Help Central. We can research your account further. Depending on the status of your account, we may also suggest you contact your admissions office and/or the TTU Office of the Registrar.

Outcome

You will be able to sign in to your original website destination successfully.
