My Accounts

Every student and employee of Saint Peter's College has a network account, an email account, a Spirit Online account, and a Blackboard account. Also, every employee has an intranet account tied to the network account.

Accounts

Username

You should have the same username for all computer accounts at Saint Peter's College. This will probably be your first initial and last name. If there is already another user with that username there will be a number added such as JSmith2, Jsmith3, etc. Your email address is your username followed by @spc.edu (e.g. JSmith@spc.edu).

Password

For Blackboard, network, email, and intranet, your initial password will be SPc (case sensitive, upper case "SP" lower case "c") followed by the last four digits of your social security number. For example if you are Jane Smith with ssn 123-45-6789, your initial password is SPc6789.

Your network login and email account always have the same password. This password must:

• Consist of at least 6 characters,
• include at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, and one numeral (e.g., blUebell36), and
• must not include your name.

For Spirit Online your initial password is the last 6 digits of your social security number, no dashes nor spaces.

Changing Passwords

You must change your password at least once every six months. When you change your password it must have at least three characters different from any password you have used in the past year. Most users find it convenient to use the same password for all accounts.
