Methods of Access
There are many methods to access netTrekker. Please review the following options to implement one or many of the access methods. Click for more details.
Username / Password
netTrekker recommends that each user create a login for themselves through the online registration process. Users will be required to enter a Registration Key during the registration process to automatically associate their username with their school. A login enables access to netTrekker from school or home. Usernames may not be duplicated; however, passwords may be repeated. Teachers, students, and parents have the ability to create their own usernames and passwords from our registration page. Contact your netTrekker Administrator for your school's Registration Key.

Optionally, the use of a single shared username is permitted in netTrekker. Any username that is shared should have the password "locked" by a netTrekker administrator at the school before it is distributed to students or teachers. Click below for suggestions on login options.
Bulk Load Usernames
netTrekker also provides a service to bulk load student and teacher usernames. You would need to provide us with a list of usernames and their respective passwords in a spreadsheet format. Please keep in mind that usernames and passwords are case-sensitive and need to be unique as we have millions of subscribers. Using numbers often helps and using a particular naming convention is helpful for you to tie the username to the appropriate person.
- To request usernames to be bulk loaded, download the netTrekker Bulk Load Username Template and email the completed form to your Account Management contact.
