Your SCU Username is used to access the network and other applications, including Gmail, Google Workspace, Camino, wireless access (through eduroam) and the VPN. Your username is typically initials and surname, such as bbronco for Bucky Bronco.
If you have any questions after going through the instructions below, please contact the Technology Help Desk at x5700 (or 408-554-5700 from off-campus) for further assistance.
Password recovery options are used if you forget the password for your SCU account. This is the non-SCU email address, and optionally a mobile phone number, that will be used to help you reset your password -- without having to call in for help.
To view and manage the password-recovery options for your SCU account, follow these instructions.
NOTE: Please allow one business day for the system to process updates.
Before you begin: Once you change your SCU password, your account could be locked out if you don’t update your password on each device you have connected to eduroam. This is because eduroam will continue to try to connect to the network using your old password.
To prevent an account lock-out, before you change your SCU password, remove eduroam from all your devices (except the one you are using to change your password). After you have set your new SCU password, re-add eduroam to each device with your new password.
