Change Password



Changing your EIT Password

When do I need to change my password?

  • If you are a new student, you will be provided with a password.  We recommend you change this password after your first login.
  • Your password requires changing every 42 days after which time it expires and will not let you log into EIT Online or student webmail until it is changed.

When do I need the Library or IT to change my password?

  • If you are a returning or current EIT student and you have forgotten your password, the Library or IT Services will need to reset your password. (Proof of identity such as Student ID may be required)
  • An incorrect password entered 4 times in a row will lock your account. Locked accounts need to be unlocked by the library or IT. This can happen when you are trying to log into your EIT email , EIT Online or papercut accounts.
