Getting Started in FlexNet Courses
Before you can start your FlexNet course, it needs to be paid for in full.  This can be done over the telephone with a credit card by calling Iowa Central at 1-800-362-2793, extension 4880.  You can also mail your payment using a check or money order.  Keep in mind that your course will need to be paid for in full within 7 days of the start of the term.  If the term has already begun, payment must be received within 7 days of enrollment.

When registration is complete and payment is made, a FlexNet Welcome Email with login information and the start/end dates for your course will be sent to your Iowa Central Student Email Account.

To access your Iowa Central Student Email Account, go to the Iowa Central home page and click on the TritonPass link.  This will take you to the login page you need to use to get to your email account. 

• Your username is the first part of your email address (without the @student.iowacentral.edu). To look up your username go to the "Student E-mail Directory"

• Your password is the first three letters of your last name in CAPS and the last four digits of your Social Security Number.  (If you do not have a Social Security Number, try using the last four digits of your Iowa Central student ID number.)

After you login to TritonPass, your email account can be found by clicking on “E-mail”, in the upper-left corner of the portal page.  This is where you will find your FlexNet Welcome Email.  A copy of your FlexNet Welcome Email can also be found on your WebAdvisor account under the “Internet Welcome Information” link.

You must login to your course within the first two (2) weeks of your start date to avoid being administratively withdrawn from your FlexNet course.
Remember, you will not receive your FlexNet Welcome Email until your course is paid for in full.
