Students New to Campus

Things you should know

  1. Full time students, staff, and faculty receive a campus computer username. This username is your identity to computer services on campus. You should protect your password for your security. Your campus username is used to manage your campus email, access your courses, view your schedule, account balances, GPA and allows you to login to campus lab computers.
  2. Campus services will use your campus given email address (@utulsa.edu) for communication. If you prefer to use an additional email to your campus email, use the "Forward Email" option in myTU to forward your campus emails to the email of your choice. This will help your professors, student services, and fellow students more effectively communicate with you.
  3. As account holder, you are responsible for the access and use of your computer username. You are expected to read and understand the campus computer policies. Before you begin to use computer related services, you should read the Ethics Code and Policy for Computer Use.
  4. For information or support concerning computer related services at The University of Tulsa see the IT Desk web page.
