TaskStream accounts must be purchased online directly from the TaskStream website.
Step-by-step Subscription Activation Guide for WCU Students:
Step 1 of 7: Purchase or Activate Subscription
From the TaskStream homepage, click on "Create or Renew Account." You should be taken to "Step 1: Purchase or
Activate your Subscription.”
If this is your first time subscribing to TaskStream, select "Create a new TaskStream subscription.” If you are going to purchase your subscription using a credit card, click the "Continue" button under Option 1: credit card purchase. If you purchased a TaskStream Subscription Card from the WCU
Bookstore, look in the Option 2 column, enter the key code from the back of the card, and click "Continue."
Step 2 of 7: General Information
You will now be prompted to indicate your role as a TaskStream user. CEAP students
will need to select the first option: College/University program that requires TaskStream. Click the "Continue" button once you selected the appropriate user-type. 
Step 2 of 7 (continued): College/University Information
After indicating your user type, you will be prompted for your university and school
information. It is very important that you affiliate yourself with Western Carolina
University's College of Education in order to utilize TaskStream in your CEAP courses
and preparation program. Complete the information as stated below and then click "Continue":
• State: North Carolina
• Type of Institution: College/University
• College/University: Western Carolina University
Step 3 of 7: Personal Information
Now that you're affiliated with Western Carolina University, you will be prompted
to select your organization and group affiliation. For this information, enter the
following:
• User Group: Select "Teacher Education" unless you are enrolled in the graduate "Specialist in School Psychology" degree
program
• Group: Students
Next you will select your subscription length. Price breaks are given for longer subscription
periods (up to six years in length). Some students may prefer to purchase their subscription
one semester at a time while others may wish to purchase a six-year subscription that
will take them into their years as a professional teacher. This is completely up to
you .
When purchased directly from TaskStream, subscriptions are available at the rates
as listed.
Now you will be prompted for personal information, including the creation of a username
and password you wish to use with your TaskStream subscription. Your Banner Student
ID is your 92#. We recommend you use your @catamount.wcu.edu email address. When
you complete the sign-up process, TaskStream will send an email to the address you
specified that contains your username, password, and login instructions. YOU SHOULD
KEEP THIS EMAIL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
You will now be prompted to add the optional Teaching Productivity Tool Pack. You
should select ADD this tool pack, as it may be used in several courses. It is added to your subscription
at no extra charge. 
You will then be asked some demographic questions and your major. If you are not
sure of your major at this time, respond with the most likely choice - you can change
it later in TaskStream.
Next, you'll be required to read and acknowledge acceptance of the TaskStream End
User License Agreement. Please read this agreement carefully and then click on the
"accept" button. Next, click "Continue".
Step 4 of 7: Confirm Registration Information
After completing your registration, you'll be prompted to confirm the information.
If it is correct, select "Continue.” Be sure to print or save this confirmation page as it contains your account information.
Step 5 of 7: Subscription Shopping Cart:
You should now be at Step Five in the registration process, which allows you to add
additional items and storage to your account. You are welcome to add additional storage
space as you deem necessary for your portfolio products. At this time, WCU does not
require you to purchase additional space, but this could change in the future, depending
on evolving course and portfolio requirements. If the information on this page is
correct, select "Proceed to Checkout.”
Step 6 of 7: Billing Information (credit card users only)
If using a credit card, you will enter your billing information here. When you are
finished, click "Continue."
At this point, you should see a screen that confirms your TaskStream subscription
purchase, and you should also receive a subscription confirmation e-mail message at
the e-mail account you designated on your personal information form. This message
will include login instructions and a summary of your username and password.
