Renaissance Star 360 Upgrade!
Things to consider after the upgrade (when you get back from break):
- Student ID's, log in's and test view will be the same. (no changes on their side)
- Enter passwords in all lowercase letters, as they are now case sensitive.
- If you want to update student passwords, please contact Renaissance Customer Support
- Create new bookmarks to your Renaissance site using the updated URL (school website, shortcuts on work stations, etc.). The new URL will be given to us after the upgrade.
- School administrators will be prompted to reset their password the first time they log in.
Use the link provided for more information about the Renaissance Star 360 Upgrade.
