CSI Student Computer Accounts

Student Network & email accounts

Every student who is registered for credit classes automatically gets a CSI network and email account. Your network account is usable in any CSI lab or classroom computer and uniquely identifies you as a user. Upon first logon, you will be asked to read and accept the CSI Computer Use Policy and setup a password profile, which will assist you if you forget your password.

Students are strongly encouraged to change their network passwords. These passwords are case sensitive and must be a minimum of eight characters. Your network and email passwords are synchronized, meaning that one changes with the other.

• username: first three letters of first name, first 13 letters of your last name, birth month, and birth day
• No spaces anywhere. If you did not register a birthdate with CSI, your birthday will be 0101.
• password: First name initial (ALL CAPS), last name initial (ALL CAPS), full CSI ID number (with leading zeros if less than 6 numbers)
• Example 1: John Q. Public, born September 15th. ID#: 201111
• username: johpublic0915
• email: johpublic0915@students.csi.edu
• initial password: JP201111
• Example 2: Mary Hernandez-Garcia, born May 1st. ID# 8372
• username: marhernandez-gar0501
• email: marhernandez-gar0501@students.csi.edu
• initial password: MH008372
• Example 3: Paul McCartney, no birth date. ID#: 93829
• username: paumccartney0101
• email: paumccartney0101@students.csi.edu
• initial password: PM093829

We have several links to student email on the CSI Web site (e.g. under EagleInfo) or you can go directly to: http://students.csi.edu.  You may access your e-mail anywhere from a computer with Internet connection and a browser.

Blackboard

You can access Blackboard by clicking on the Blackboard link on CSI's main Web site or at its address at http://blackboard.csi.edu.

The initial username and password are the same for CSI student e-mail account, network, Blackboard and online library resources. However, your Blackboard password is not synchronized with your email & network passwords. If you change your email or network password, it does not affect your Blackboard account.

If you are having issues or questions about Blackboard, contact the Instructional Technology Center.
