Former Augusta University Students: Logging Back In

Augusta University provides a range of online tools and resources to support its students throughout their academic journey. To access these services, students are required to log in using their unique Augusta University credentials. For previous students, the login process may differ slightly, and it is important to understand the steps involved to regain access to the university's systems. In this article, we will explore the login process for former Augusta University students, including any necessary steps to reset or recover their login credentials. By the end of this article, ex-students should feel confident about regaining access to their accounts and utilizing the resources available to them.

Logging into the Augusta University System

Step 1: Activating Your Account

After receiving your offer of admission to Augusta University, you will need to activate your new account. This process is simple and usually occurs within 24 hours of acceptance. During this step, you will create a secure password that meets Augusta University's password requirements. It is essential to keep your password safe and not share it with anyone to prevent account theft.

Step 2: Understanding Your Credentials

Once your account is activated, you will receive your username, also known as your NetID. Your NetID, along with the password you created, will be the keys to accessing various AU services. Remember to keep your NetID in a safe place as you will need it frequently.

Step 3: Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Augusta University prioritises security and, as such, requires all students to enable two-factor authentication with Duo. This adds an extra layer of security to your account. Duo must be used whenever you access AU services, both on and off campus, and even when travelling internationally.

Step 4: Accessing AU Services

With your account activated, credentials in hand, and two-factor authentication set up, you are now ready to access a range of AU services. These include the university's learning management system (Brightspace), campus email, enterprise software, and AU's wireless and private networks.

Step 5: Keeping Your Password Secure

It is important to note that you will need to change your password every six months to maintain security. Additionally, if you forget your password or need to reset it, you can follow the password reset instructions provided by Augusta University. Remember never to share your password and always create unique passwords that meet the university's password requirements.

Recovering login credentials

Augusta University requires all students to have a secure password and to enable two-factor authentication with Duo to access AU services safely. If you are a former student of Augusta University and have forgotten your login credentials, you can reset your password by visiting password.augusta.edu. Here, you will be prompted to set a new password and answer security questions.

Your username at Augusta University is known as your NetID or JagID. If you have forgotten your username, you can try contacting the IT Helpdesk at 706-721-4000 or visiting one of the IT Service Desks on campus.
