FAQ's . . .
- What is my BUnetID user name (login) & password?
- New or Transfer Students: you will receive an 'activation letter' to set up your account. This letter will provide instructions to obtain your BUnetID online, and set up your password.
- New Faculty/Staff: your Department secretary should have this information for you. If she does not have this information, contact the Technology HelpDesk for assistance.
- Does my password expire? How do I change it?
What if I forget to change it?
- Yes. For security purposes your password will expire. To change your password before it expires, go by MyBU (http://mybu.bradley.edu), login using your BUnetID and password, and select the 'CAMPUS' tab.
- Can I use the same password?
- No. The server will remember the last 16 passwords you have used. Consequently, it is necessary to use a new password.
