Where do I log in to TPAD?

On the official TPAD2 login page of the Teachers Service Commission, tpad2.tsc.go.ke. Never enter your TSC Number, ID Number or password on any other site, and never share your password.

Is there one checklist for every term?

Yes. The steps are the same each term, so print one sheet per term and write the term and year at the top. Only the deadline changes, and TSC announces it by circular.

What if the portal will not load or will not save?

Teachers have reported slow servers and failed saves. Try again later, save as you go, and keep your own copy of what you typed. The deadline has been extended before because of system problems, so watch for the TSC circular.

Is this checklist from TSC?

No. We are not TSC. Every step is taken from the TSC TPAD2 page or a named Kenyan news report, with the source shown. For anything official, follow TSC's own notices.
