Your username, email address, and temporary password will be provided as generated by the Information Technology department. Typically, usernames consist of the first initial of the first name followed by the full last name. Some exceptions apply, and a number may be added to the end of the username if it is common. For example, the username for a student, staff, or faculty member named Jane Doe will be jdoe. If another user named John Doe enters the system, his username will be jdoe1.
Email addresses are simply the username followed by @gordonconwell.edu. You also have an email alias ([email protected]) which redirects email to your actual address ([email protected]).
Username: Your username is provided in your welcome email. (Example: jdoe)
Email Address: [email protected] (Example: [email protected]l.edu)
You will need to enter the full email address, not just the username, to log into webmail, SONIS, and Canvas.
Password: Your password is the initial password provided in your welcome email.
To change your password, please see the instructions below.
