Faculty/Staff Technology Accounts (Email, Computers, Blackboard)

Faculty and Staff must first fill out and submit the ITS Computer Account Application Form. Your account will be created and you will be notified with a username and password to access it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Computer accounts are not to be shared with other users; when evidence of account sharing is found, all parties involved will be considered to be in violation of this policy. Please review Article 223: ECSU Policy on Computer Use

Once you get your username and password you can use it to log onto a computer on campus, or you can use it to access your email from off-campus. If two-factor authentication has been enabled, refer to the following link to set up verification:
