Accounts - Student Technology Account

A student’s full Internet email address is username@uwgb.edu.  

Student account usernames consist of the first four characters of their last name, their first and middle name initials, and the two-digit day of the month that they were born. For example, Mary Kay Jones’s birthday is May 4th, so her username would be jonemk04. ***NOTE: There are occasional exceptions to this syntax.***

• Student Information System, which is used by students to register for classes, add or drop classes, view class schedules, assess degree progress, view grades, print transcripts, and access other academic, personal, and financial information.

• Log into campus Windows and Macintosh computers.

Passwords

Students are able to change their passwords either in person or over the phone.  Students visiting the GBIT Service Desk in person will need a photo ID; students resetting passwords over the phone will need to answer security questions to prove their identity. ***NOTE: This can only be done by the student.***

To reset your password, call the GBIT Service Desk at (920) 465-2309 or stop by IS 1150.

Students will be notified of their password's expiration two weeks before they are due to expire, with daily notifications thereafter. In addition, pop-up notifications will appear on campus Windows PC beginning two weeks prior to the password expiration date.

Student Network/Email Account Removal Policy

Student account purges occur in February and October. Two weeks before their account removal is scheduled, students will receive a warning message that their account will be removed. If the student needs to continue using their account to complete course related activities, they should have a faculty or staff member email the GBIT Service Desk to explain the reason for the account extension and the period of time that the account will be needed. Before accounts are deleted, all files in the account are backed up and can be restored within one year if necessary.

***NOTE: Email files are not backed up and cannot be restored if a student requests that their account be reinstated.***
