Your Guide to Campus Computers and Online Resources

Accessing Campus Technology

From using campus computers, printers, and copiers to setting up your email and accessing your classes in Canvas, these tools are designed to streamline your academic experience and keep you connected to everything you need to succeed.

Your Hawkeye Username and Password

Your Hawkeye username and password will give you access to myHawkeye, your Hawkeye email and Google apps, Canvas, campus computers, and the network. You'll use the same username and password for all of these tools.

Your username and password will be created once you're accepted to the College. Instructions on how to set up your account will be included in your acceptance letter.

Your Hawkeye username is usually your firstname.lastname and is the same for all Hawkeye services, including myHawkeye, your Hawkeye email and Google apps, Canvas, campus computers, and network access.

If you can't remember it, simply fill out this form to retrieve your username.

Look Up Your Hawkeye Username

Your initial password is "Hawkeye" followed by your six-digit birthdate. For example, if your birthday is January 4, 2002, your initial password will be Hawkeye010402.

After logging in, you'll be prompted to change your password. You'll need to create a password/passphrase, which is a longer and more secure password option. Make sure to choose one that you can easily remember.

How to Create Your Password/Passphrase

If you've logged in this semester or the previous fall/spring semester, including if you've taken Hawkeye classes in high school, but can't remember the password you set, you have several options to reset it:

  • Reset your password online

  • Reset your password in person: Stop by the Student Tutoring and Computer Lab or the Hawkeye Library. Be sure to bring a valid photo ID, such as your Hawkeye ID or driver's license, to confirm your identity.

  • Call to have your password reset: Be ready to answer a few questions to verify your identity.
