Access Accounts

Glowing computer screen An Access account is a user ID and password that enables faculty, staff, and students to use the public labs as well as the full-range of Internet services on or off campus.

Students automatically receive an Access account when they enroll for credit classes at Penn State. Faculty and staff need to apply for an Access account by contacting Michelle Brown in the Computer Center.

Faculty, staff, and students may obtain their user ID and password by using a signature station. Signature stations are located in the following areas: the computer lab in Hammermill 135, the Registrar's office in Erie Hall, and in the Corporate and Continuing Education office in the Logan Carriage House.

After you receive your account, use your web browser to change your password.

The Access account may be used:

in the networked computer labs. Please read the Appropriate Use Statement which governs the usage of Access accounts, computers, and information networks.
to apply for a residence hall network connection. The dorms and apartments are configured for Internet access via a backbone connection. You also need your own PC and a network card.
from your home or office. Your PC will need a modem. (There are 120 dial-up lines. The dial-up number to access one of these modems is 814-898-7200.)

For information about the electronic access system, refer to the following resources: Penn State Access Account and Information Technology Guide.
