An account is automatically created for new students and employees. During this automated process, the username (e.g. kuabc123), student/employee (e.g. K00123456), and email address will be created for student, staff, and faculty. A student’s account is created after they have been accepted to the University. Staff and faculty’s account is created via the Human Resources hiring process.

Students, staff, and faculty can reset their password on the ITS Password Reset page. This self-service reset page does not require your old password and you will be able to view your email address and user name.  To log-in, you will need your Student/Faculty/Staff ID (BannerID/K-number example: K00123456) and Birthdate (MMDDYY).

The following services use University account credentials:

• Computer Logins

• JCAL via Ad Astra
