Troubleshooting Tips
- The account claim process is a one-time action. If you are a former student or prior applicant your account may have already been claimed in the past.
- Due to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations, the student must be present when requesting account claim or password reset assistance.
- If you are a new student and the claim process fails, please check your ApplyTexas.org application details and verify you are using the correct Name, Date of Birth, and Zip Code. If you notice that a correction needs to be made, please contact/visit the Admissions Office before reaching out to Technical Support.
- If you receive an error while attempting to complete the Claim Your Account process, try using the password self-service/reset option before contacting Technical Support.
- Ensure your personal email address and mobile phone number in SOS are current, as they are used for password recovery verification. See additional information for updating SOS.
- The claim process is for students only, it does not apply to employees.
