Individual members of NCTM need to Sign In to access online member benefits. To "Sign In," enter the Username and Password included in the letter in your New Member package.

If you have forgotten your password:

• We can e-mail your account credentials to you.
• E-mail password@nctm.org with your name and member number or mailing address to which you receive journals, or
  
• contact Customer Service at (800) 235-7566

Remember that the User ID is your e-mail address.

After three unsuccessful sign-in attempts, your account is disabled for your protection. Contact Customer Service at (800) 235-7566 to reset it.

Once signed in to Members Only a member's session will stay active for 20 minutes past the last activity. If no activity is initiated after a 20 minute interval, the member will be automatically signed off. This is designed to allow members to integrate Members Only into their work without having to sign in repeatedly.

To change your password:

• Sign in
• Click on "My Account,"
• Click on "Update Contact Information"
• Enter and confirm your new password.

Note: Sign Out of Members Only when you are finished. This protects you from others accessing your membership information. Once signed in, Sign Out will be located in the top, blue, horizontal menu bar.
