Whether you're a new student or a returning student, you will be asked to fill out different packets. If you are a returning student you will want to click here: http://treca.org/returnpacket. If you are a new student you will want to click here: http://treca.org/registrationpacket.
Please note that some other forms will not show in the portal until you have first submitted a student packet.
First, you want to go to the links given above, depending on if you are a new student or a returning student. Once you open the link you will see a screen that looks like this:
To log in, type the email and password you registered with and click "Login". If you have never accessed this portal before, you will need to register an account through the portal. You can do this by clicking the "Register (New User)" button.
If you are registering a new account, you will see a screen like the one below, which has various prompts to fill out. Fill out each prompt and select "Submit."
Once you've established an account, log in to the Portal using your login credentials. Once you've logged in, you'll be taken to the dashboard. Select the teal "Add student via..." button to begin filling out your packet. If you are a returning student, select the Returning Student Packet. If you are a new student or left TRECA and are returning, select the New Student Packet. You should see a screen similar to the one below. Please remember that the specific forms you see may be different in your case.
You will need to fill out the first form in the packet to access the rest. Until you fill out the first form, your list of forms will be greyed out. Once you complete the first form, click the green "Submit Form" button at the bottom of your screen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please keep in mind that when you submit any forms, you will see a screen like this while the forms are being submitted. Do not click off of your screen or close your browser because your forms may not be submitted properly.
As you go through the packet and complete your forms, the status of each form will change (as well as the color) to denote the current status of the form. Here are the different status options you may see:
Not Started (Denoted in Red) – This means you have not filled out or saved any information to this form. This form still needs to be completed.
In Progress (Denoted in blue) – This means you have started filling out some information on the form. You have not yet clicked the "Save Form" button at the bottom of the page for this form.
Ready to Submit (denoted in light green) – This means you have filled out all necessary fields on this form and have clicked the "Save Form" button at the bottom of your screen. When you go to submit all of your forms at the end of the process, all forms marked "Ready to Submit" will be sent together.
Complete – This means you have successfully filled out all necessary fields for a form, and it has been submitted to TRECA for review.
Once you have all of your forms marked as "Ready to Submit," the last form of the packet will provide you with a button at the bottom of the screen that says "Submit Forms.” This button will submit all your digital paperwork to TRECA.
When you click this button, you will be asked if you want to submit all forms through a pop-up window. Choose “Yes,” and the forms will begin submitting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Submitting all your paperwork may take a few minutes. Please be careful not to close your browser or turn off your computer during this time.
Once everything has submitted, you will be taken back to the screen that you used when filling out all of your forms.
All forms should say “Complete" next to them. If this is the case, congratulations! You've filled out all the necessary paperwork and submitted it to TRECA!
If you have additional students that need to fill out similar paperwork, you can use this same portal for filling out those forms as well. Rather than logging out, go to the button in the upper left-hand corner of your screen that says Dashboard:
The Dashboard will allow you to see other students for whom you have previously submitted forms. Additionally, you can add a new set of forms to the system by choosing "Add Student via."
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are unable to complete all of your forms in one sitting, the system will auto-save your work as you fill out your documents. If you leave this page, you can return to the links provided at the top of the webpage to get back to your forms and continue filling out all of your documents.
