General overview of user accounts
Access to many online and on-campus resources require the use of user accounts. Students, employees, and other approved affiliates to the university can be provided accounts to access these resources. Great care should be taken to keep account passwords confidential. Passwords should never be shared with anyone, regardless of their role with the university. Anyone with a university account should be familiar with and follow all university policies.
Students
Upon admission to the university, an email will be sent to a student's personal email address (identified during the admission process) providing them instructions on how to initialize two accounts: their university Microsoft 365 account and their network account. The Microsoft 365 account will be the primary account they will use to access most services such as email, Bluelink, D2L, and almost all other services. The network account is a separate account used to access the wireless (wifi) network.
Employees
Upon employment, an email will be sent to a new employee's personal email address (identified during the recruiting process) providing them instructions on how to initialize and access their university account used to access all campus resources.
Affiliates
External constituents can be provided access to specific campus resources as needed and as approved. These accounts must be requested by a university employee or department. Usernames and initial passwords will be provided securely to the affiliate either by the requesting employee/department or by Campus Technology Services.
