-
Student accounts provide access to student email,
on-site access to the computer labs, off-site access to the library
databases and eSmart.
-
Student accounts are
automatically created when a student applies,
without students having to complete an account
application.
-
Student accounts are
not related online to PeopleSoft (PS), Enrollment Services (VIP) or WebCT. Each are separate and distinct accounts.
Usernames
The student account username is the student's
seven-digit PS ID. The PS ID is assigned by the
Admissions Office and is found on the student's
admissions letter.
Passwords
New Student accounts are
created with pre-expired passwords meaning the student must
change the initial password to a new password before
the account can be used.
The initial password will the be student’s birth date
in the format of MMDDYYYY where:
MM is the month
DD is the day
YYYY is the year (all four digits)
Leading zeros are
required for those months or days that are single
digit.
Passwords must be at least eight characters long.
Please see the
Password Guidelines
and
Changing Your Password
documentation.
A password lifetime is 160 days. That means that students are required to change their passwords every 160 days from the date of their last password change.
Note: The system keeps a password history file. Students cannot re-use their previous nine passwords.
Example
John B. Smith has a PS ID of 1234567, and was born on March 4, 1981. His
username would be 1234567. His initial password would
be 03041981.
