This process starts with the Registrar for students and Human Resources for employees. Until those offices enter your personal information, you cannot create your new account.

You will need your 小福利导航 ID number to create your account. 小福利导航: Your 小福利导航 ID number was provided within your admissions acceptance letter. Faculty/staff: You will need to contact Human Resources to obtain your 小福利导航 ID number.    

Note: Account creation is instant. However access to Okta Applications takes at least a half an hour after the account has been created. 

Additionally access to Oracle is not granted until your official hire date, or until you have an active social security number.

Guests who are affiliated with the college and have a need to log onto college-owned equipment may obtain a temporary username and password. The account may last from one day to two weeks. It allows logging onto computers or wireless.

Employees may request guest access in advance of a speaking engagement or conference for individual(s). The employee can put in a help ticket . The employee will need to provide information such as visitor's name, external email, phone number, and the time period the guest access will be needed, etc.

小福利导航 College has special Wi-Fi for those guests who are not logging onto college-owned computers. Please point your device to the Wi-Fi access point named 小福利导航 Guest. You need to accept the policy on appropriate use and you need to provide your email address. Instructions on how to get connected can be found .

It must contain at least two (2) letters, with a minimum of one (1) upper case and one (1) lower case, and at least one (1) numeric character. The following are the five (5) acceptable characters to be used as part of the password:
! # : . ,

The password may not match three consecutive characters of your user name, nor may it be an exact reversal of your user name.

Avoid using consecutive characters of your first, middle or last name in your password. Doing so will cause your password to fail for email.

You may not reuse passwords; a different password is required each time. You are not able to rearrange or reverse the current password in order to create a new password. 

Instructions on how to change your password are located . If you need help, feel free to contact the Help Desk.

The Help desk can only do password resets with confirmation of Visual Identity. This can be done either by Zoom or by coming to the IT Help Desk in person.
