- Change your password: Change your password immediately to prevent misuse of your account. Until you have changed your O365 password, you will not be able to use Wi-Fi services on campus. Changing this password is what also enables you to use Wi-Fi. You will be prompted to change your password upon your first login, along with setting up password self-recovery options. If you know your old password and want to change it to something different, please follow these instructions:
- Go to your inbox.
- Click on your username in the top-right corner
- Click "View Account."
- Click "Password."
- Enter your current and new passwords — your new password must be at least 10 characters.
- Click "Submit"
- Sign In. Use your student email address to sign in to computers on campus, to access Student WiFi on campus, and to access your email with your Office 365 account.
You can reset your password using the above steps at any time, wherever you have access to the internet. If you forget your password, you may reset your password by following the Password Recovery process at https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/.
For help on resetting your password, visit the Student Wi-Fi page.
