Staff Guides
Welcome to the Tangaza University staff help center.

đŦ Getting help
One account signs you in to all three systems: your tangaza.ac.ke Google account. A personal Gmail account will not work anywhere, and is the single most common reason a colleague or student cannot get in.
LMS support and staff training come from the Institute Administrator in your department. Staff Portal and online-class problems go to ICT.
