Your ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account (username and password) will be used to access email, Google, Moodle, campus owned computers, and authenticated access to many online ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ resources. Starting in July of 2018, new employees will choose their username from a list of options during a web-based account activation process that is initiated after the hiring process is complete. Historically ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ used a standard convention for usernames - first initial of your first name, followed by the first seven letters of your last name. If duplicates existed, numbers were added at the end. This new process will create usernames that don't follow the historical convention.

This User Account is provided by ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅, made available to students, faculty, staff and approved guests of the College to facilitate and enhance their work, teaching, learning, and scholarly research. All ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ accounts are governed by the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Acceptable Use Policy. User Account access ends when employment ends.
