How do I get a computer and e-mail account?
A computer account is created automatically for all main campus students. To access the account, you need to log into CUConnect and visit the PLUS tab (using your student identification number and your PIN) and then click on the e-mail/passwords button. From there, you can set passwords for your e-mail account, your web page account, and your computer lab and remote dial-up access (IdentiKey).
What is an IdentiKey and why do I need it?
An IdentiKey account:
- Consists of your e-mail login name and a password (that is different from your e-mail password)
- Allows you to use CU-Boulder's free modem pools from home
- Allows you to use ITS computing labs on campus
- Allows you to use SmartForce (computer-based training)
