ePass
accounts are made available to every student, faculty, and staff
member associated with the University. ePass accounts are hosted on
Sage and allow you access to email, library databases, class discussion
groups, and other PLU resources. Other system accounts for
administrative systems may be obtained by faculty and staff members
only. For more information on administrative system accounts, contact
sysadmin@plu.edu.
To create your ePass account, you must first go to https://www.plu.edu/myepass. You will be asked to agree
to abide by the PLU Computer Use Policy and fill out some information about yourself. It will then generate a username for you and have you create a
password for the account. Once completed, your account should be active within an hour.
An NT account
refers to the username and password that allows an
individual to log onto their office computer. NT account passwords are
verified
by the NT domain and maintained by the NT Network Manager. This account
will allow you to log into any Windows NT/2000/XP system conected to
the PLU domain. This username and password
verification allows a higher level of security on our systems.
NT account usernames are the same as ePass usernames: the first six letters of the last name + first and middle initials.
NT account passwords are originally set with a default password but the user is prompted upon first log in to change their password for their security. (Although the usernames for both your ePass account and NT are the same, the passwords are verified by a separate domain and thus are not necessarily the same and for improved security, should not be the same!)
New NT Accounts (Faculty and Staff)
Faculty and staff NT accounts are created only after the
employee has set up their ePass account. Once the ePass account
has been created, an email is sent to the NT Network Manager notifying him that the account needs to be set up. When the NT Network Manager has finished the setup, the new account holder will be called and given the complete
instructions on accessing their account. For additional questions reguarding this process, please call or visit the Computing and Telecommunications Help Desk.
New NT accounts (Student Workers)
For security of our systems, the supervisor must verify his/her
student's employment before an NT account can be created or changed in
any way. To establish or change the password for a student, download the Student NT Account Request Form and submit it to the Computing and Telecommunications Help Desk. Once the account has been created by our NT
Network Manager, the new account holder will be contacted and given
instructions on logging into there account.
Log in failures or forgotten passwords
If a user is given an error message when trying to log onto their NT account (logging onto their machine):
BannerMint accounts can be obtained by first filling out a
request form located here. Once the form
has been completed it will need to be turned in at the Computing and Telecommunications Help
Desk, which is located on the first floor of the library. The form will then be sent to the Account
manager who will process the request.
Once the account is ready, you will be contacted by our department to
schedule a training session to help you fully utilize this resource.
