LiveText, by Watermark

Most School of Education programs require the use of LiveText, as McKendree University is required by our accreditors to collect assessment data. Please review this page for essential LiveText information.

How to access LiveText

LiveText can be accessed through the "MyMcK" link in the upper right of McKendree's website or by navigating to www.livetext.com in your web browser.

Setting up your LiveText account

Students - Students can purchase a LiveText account at the McKendree bookstore or at www.livetext.com. Make sure that you include your student ID number and select "McKendree University" as your school during registration.

Instructors - Instructors and Field Experience Supervisors, please send an email requesting the creation of an account to livetext@mckendree.edu. The email should include your name, title, and McKendree ID number.

Cooperating Teachers - Cooperating Teachers will be sent LiveText instructions each term as part of their materials from the School of Education.

LiveText account issues

Please reference the Quick Info > LiveText Account Issues? section on the right side of this page should you experience issues with your LiveText account (e.g. lost password, account expiration). While McKendree University helps to facilitate LiveText account creation, the accounts are "owned" by the individual.
