Step one is to obtain a personalized UT EID that establishes you as an off-campus user of the quest online homework system. In the center of the page shown click on "I need a UT EID". Then click "Continue" on the following page and you should be sent to the page shown below:
Select "no" for all options and click "continue".
Provide your own personal information as shown above and click "continue". Please use your information and do not copy exactly from above.
Create your three security questions.
Do not choose a password you commonly use. Then write down your password in an easily accessible place such as your lab book or on a card placed next to your computer at home. It is advised to write it down in multiple locations. If you choose a unique password, there is no need to keep it secret. If anyone steals your password they will now have access to your homework problems. Trust me, no one wants access to your homework.
Confirm your information. If satisfied, click on "Create My UT EID".
Write down your UT EID immediately in the same location as your password. The UT EID is somewhat random and very difficult to remember.

Congratulations! It is now the teacher's responsibility to clear you as a student in the course.

Once the teacher clears you as an actual student in the class, you will be able to use the UT online homework system by using your UT EID and password.
