SCSU Accounts for Students, Faculty, and Staff

Overview

The SCSU Office of Information Technology supports the following accounts:

• The MySCSU account, which is used for the MySCSU portal, email, campus web services, Blackboard/Vista, and several other related services.
• A Windows account, which is used to log onto all campus machines, as well as access Window resources, such as file shared and networked printers.
• Banner accounts, used by faculty and staff to access the Banner client program.

In addition, several applications are managed by individual administrative or academic departments.  Administrative Computing provides hosting, hardware, and backup support for these systems, but bears no responsibility for account management for these systems.

Account Procedures

MySCSU and Windows accounts are automatically assigned to faculty, staff, and students at the time of their association with the University. Requests for Banner accounts must go to the Director of Banner Communications or can be made through the SCSU Help Desk. For more information on procedures for accounts and passwords, please contact the SCSU Help Desk website.
