All students, faculty, and staff of Baldwin-Wallace College, both full time and part time, have the right to obtain an account for e-mail and accessing the campus network and the Internet. The responsibilities accompanying the privilege of B-W network access must positively reflect both the legal obligations and integrity of the College as a service provider in the Internet community. The Responsible Use of Information Technology Resources policy describes these obligations. Acceptance of this policy is required for activation of such accounts and takes place during the initial login session.
How do I get a network account?
-
Undergraduate students are automatically issued an account upon acceptance to B-W.
-
Graduate students are issued an account once they enroll in a course.
-
New faculty and staff will be contacted by IT with their individual account information after they are hired.
B-W network accounts provide access to many computer-related services on campus besides the Internet: network file storage space, printing in computer labs, Blackboard, the Yellow Jacket Portal, WebExpress registration, WebMail, the Bookstore*, and Ritter Library*. Therefore, maintain and protect the security and integrity of your account(s): never share any of your passwords with others! (* separate login and password required)
Guests of the College, including faculty, staff, or students from other universities, may request permission to use the Internet, campus network, or utilize a B-W e-mail account during their visit by completing a Guest Account Form. All requests must be supported and signed by an administrator or department chair and then forwarded to the Director of Information Technology for final approval. All requests must include a start date and an end date and can be granted for a period of up to one year.
Student accounts remain active until a student graduates or does not enroll for two consecutive semesters (not including summer session). Student accounts are terminated on the 10th day of the second consecutive semester during which a student does not attend. Faculty and staff accounts are closed within 30 days after termination or retirement unless a request is submitted to and approved by the Director of Information Technology to change the status of the account to a Guest Account. Emeriti faculty and select administrators may petition to retain their B-W account upon retirement; however, inactivity of these accounts for more than ninety days will result in cancellation.
If you have forgotten your password, have questions about your B-W network account, or need other assistance, please contact the IT HelpDesk at (440) 826-7000.
