About your network Login account

Choose the scenario below that best describes your status and follow the directions.  If you are still experiencing login problems, please bring a picture ID (preferably a SSU Student ID) to the UIS Help Desk, located in the basement of the Administration Building.  Please note:  For security reasons, no passwords or other information will be given out over the phone or to any other person except for the student.

PLEASE NOTE:  Your account will be deleted at the end of the current academic session, unless you are pre-registered for an upcoming academic session.

Scenario 1

§       If you are a current student during the previous academic session, and are pre-registered for an upcoming academic session:

Your username and password will be the same as it was during the previous academic session.  

Scenario 2

§       If you are a student that attended previously, but has not attended in the previous academic session:

Your username will be the same as it was the previous academic session attended, PROVIDED IT HAS NOT BEEN MORE THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE ACADEMIC SESSIONS (please see scenario 4).

Your password has been reset to your date of birth (YYYYMMDD)

PLEASE NOTE:  All account content will be deleted, and only your login name will remain the same. 

Scenario 3

§       If you are a new student and have never attended SSU before:

Your username will be your last name, along with your first initial with no spaces and all lowercase:  doej

Your one-time password will be your date of birth in the following format: YYYYMMDD  

If you encounter a problem, you can try placing a number after your username.  This is done in cases were there may be students with the same first initial and same last name, i.e. Tracey Smith and Tony Smith.  Tracey’s username will be "smitht" and Tony’s will be "smitht2".  

Scenario 4

Your username will be your last name, along with your first initial with no spaces and all lowercase:  doej

Your one-time password will be your date of birth in the following format: YYYYMMDD

If you encounter a problem, you can try placing a number after your username.  This is done in cases were there may be students with the same first initial and same last name, i.e. Tracey Smith and Tony Smith.  Tracey’s username will be "smitht" and Tony’s will be "smitht2".
