Access to the campus network and the numerous online resources needed by our students and employees requires user accounts associated to each individual. These accounts are created for students when they are admitted to the university and for employees upon confirmation of their employment.
Students and employees should take great care in keeping their account passwords confidential. Passwords should never be shared with anyone, regardless of their role with the university. Users with access to the campus network and online resources must abide by the Computer Use Policy.
While ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app City University is working to simplify the technology access process to a single username and password, there are still a few online services that are tied to your ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app network user account. Computer login, print access, and wireless access are among these services. Your ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Network credentials are everything before the @ in your email address. For example, [email protected] network username would be just jdoe and the corresponding password associated with that username
Students are initially provided their campus access credentials (Microsoft 365 credentials) via email during the Admissions process. Contact your Admissions Counselor if you have not yet received this information.
Employees are provided their access credentials from their supervisors upon employment and only after the Human Resources department has processed the new employee's information in Banner.
Want to change your network password, or you have forgotten it?
