Information

Introduction

The University of Tulsa has assigned each student, faculty, and staff a user name that provides access to various University computer services.

Several of these services include:

• myTU (i.e., web-based e-mail, login services)
• E-mail
• Login to Utulsa Domain
• Off-campus computer access (i.e., dial-up)
• Personal disk space including personal web pages
• WebCT (i.e., web-based course access)
• WebAdvisor

To access various systems you must know your user name and the password associated with your user name.

User Name

Your user name most often has this structure: firstname-lastname (i.e. john-doe). Some user names differ from this structure. You can verify your user name from the Campus Search on the University home page or the directory in myTU.

1. Now you need to type in your first or last name or both if it’s a common name.
2. The listing will show all possible matches for the entered name. It will show the full name, phone number and email address. Your user name is what appears before the @ in the email address. Example: if your e-mail is displayed as john-doe@utulsa.edu then your user name is john-doe
3. Your user name is case-sensitive. Use all lower case letters, (hint: if you have trouble, verify that the caps lock is not on).

Your initial password for your user name is generated when your login is created. You should receive an e-mail when your user account is created indicating your password if you have an internet e-mail address on file. If you do not know your initial password contact the IS Computer Help Desk to receive information on your initial password. Help Desk: 918-631-3500 or help@utulsa.edu .

In order to log in to campus lab machines using Utulsa, you must have already changed your password.

Password Management

Security of these services is quite important. The best way to manage security to your services is to manage your passwords regularly.

• Changing your Password - changing your password is an easy process. Use myTU to change your password to your campus user name.
• What are qualities of a good password?
  • Passwords should be a reasonable length - some systems require a minimum of eight characters
  • Your password should be something that you can remember, but should be something that would be hard for others to figure out. For example: you should not use your name or related items that someone might guess. You could use a word that is common to you but add numbers and characters to improve its quality. You can also add mixed case as our passwords are case sensitive.
