IMPORTANT NOTE: All Eastern students have Technology Account (computer, email, and Blackboard) automatically generated upon registration. These accounts all use the same username and password. Your username must be typed completely in lowercase and passwords must be typed in whatever case is appropriate. New and transfer students MUST log on to either a University-owned computer or their Eastern email accounts (from on or off-campus) BEFORE attempting to log on to Blackboard.

• Technology Accounts are used to log into any Eastern computer and your Eastern email account, and also grant access to network storage drives (Z-Drives). See Article 20 Student Technology Accounts or Article 32 Faculty/Staff Technology Accounts. Technology Accounts are also used for accessing our course management system Blackboard. For more details see Article 23 Blackboard Accounts.
