Introduction to User Credentials for Piedmont University Systems
- IT Services (ITS) assigns new students and personnel a username, an email address, and a temporary password.
- ITS sends this information to new people as part of student orientation or employee onboarding activities, with directions about how to logon for the first time.
- When new students and personnel logon for the first time, the system requires them to choose a new permanent password.
- When you enter your University username or email address as username and your password into these systems, a central credentials server is checked for a match.
- Some systems will require two-factor authentication.
If you lose your temporary, one-time password, or if you forget your permanent password, follow the instructions on this Library FAQ to reset your password.
- Your University username looks like this: jjones0101 (student) or jjones (faculty, staff). A student's username incorporates the person's 4-digit birthday.
- Your University email address therefore looks like this: jjones0101@lions.piedmont.edu (student) or jjones@piedmont.edu (faculty, staff).
- The most commonly used University systems use your University username as your username for the system.
But there are some exceptions described in the second and third tables below.
