Accounts and Passwords
You only need to remember one username and password to access most school resources. There are a few exceptions that use separate credentials, such as the Career Hub, IRB websites, and GoToMeeting.
Usernames and School Login Id's
Your username and School Login Id refer to the same thing: The first part of your email address, before the @ symbol. For example, if your email address is [email protected], your username and school login ID is abc1234.
Passwords
You can reset your password 24-hours a day using the Password Reset tool. You can download a helpful guide for using the Password Reset Tool here. If you run into problems, contact the Help Desk; you'll find a link to their contact information in the Navigation menu on the left.
