Staff Guides
Welcome to the Tangaza University staff help center.
ℹ️ New here? Pick the system you need help with. Each one has a guide for lecturers and administrators, and a separate guide for ICT staff.
Tangaza University runs three systems that staff use day to day. One account signs you in to all three: your tangaza.ac.ke Google account.

💬 Getting help
A personal Gmail account will not work on any of the three systems, and is the single most common reason a colleague or student cannot get in. Sign out of Google completely, then sign in again with the tangaza.ac.ke address.
LMS support and staff training come from the Institute Administrator in your department. Staff Portal and online-class problems go to ICT.
