BUnetID    Computer Accounts Management 

What is my BUnetID?

Your BUnetID (your user name that uniquely identifies you) provides access to network resources such as Exchange (faculty/staff email including pobox.bradley.edu), B-Mail (students email), Webster, Library services, etc. Note: Changing this BUnetID password does NOT affect Blackboard. Your BUnetID is usually the first letter of your first name and your last name (i.e. Jimmy Jones' BUnetID may be jjones).

How do I activate my BUnetID?

Bradley University is striving to make your computer account management as simple as possible. We have developed an on-line process to activate and manage your BUnetID account.  

You will receive an account activation letter with your BUnetID (user name) and activation code. If you do not receive an account activation letter, or cannot find it, you can go to Morgan Hall 205 and request a letter (you will be required to provide a government issued picture ID).

Simply go to http://newaccounts.bradley.edu to set up your account. During this process you will be asked to choose a password and answer two (2) "secret questions". In the future, you will be required to answer your secret questions to reset your password on-line if you forget it. 

Password guidelines

Changing your password while connected to systems that require authentication (particularly secure wireless) can lead to complications. We recommend that Windows users log out and back into their machines immediately after changing their passwords.

In order to protect your accounts, you will be required to change your password every 90 days. You will be notified via electronic mail that your account password will expire and will be provided with instructions to make the change. Use these guidelines to make your passwords more complex. Please make sure you read these before changing passwords.

On Google passwords

Your B-Mail account is hosted by Google. If you log in the recommended way, using a web browser, this mail system uses your BUnetID username and password. Mail clients configured with POP/IMAP use your BUnetID username and Google password. If you change your BUnetID password and have it saved in your mail client, you will need to change the password in your mail client (unless you deselect the option to also change your B-Mail password when changing your password).
If you have questions or problems, contact the Technology HelpDesk at (309) 677-2964.
