Employees and students have the ability to set their own network passwords using URSA.
Please note: You should not set or change your network password while using a PC, laptop, or other device connected to IUP’s wireless network.
- Before beginning, be sure to disconnect all PCs, laptops, and mobile devices from IUP’s wireless network. If you reset your network password while you still have a connection to the wireless network, you will lock out your network account, preventing access to all network resources, including:
- the wired and wireless networks
- the project directory (aka P drive)
- your home directory (aka H drive)
- the instructor’s drive (aka I drive)
- Desire2Learn
- Moodle
- the Virtual Private Connection (VPN)
- ihelp.iup.edu
- After disconnecting all network devices, delete the your old network password (also referred to as cached credentials) from the device. See Delete your Saved Password from your IUP Wireless Network Setup for instructions.
- Log in to URSA with your Banner ID and PIN. If you've forgotten your PIN, click Forgot PIN? or go to the Registrar’s office in Clark Hall with your I-Card to have the PIN reset.
- Select Personal Information and Surveys.
- Select Password Reset Options.
- Select the Network check box in the Click to change column. (You may also select E-mail if you need to reset your e-mail password.)
- Click Set Selected Passwords.
- Click Proceed.
- Enter the password you wish to use in the Enter your NEW Password box. Re-enter the password you wish to use in the Confirm your NEW Password box.
- Click Set Selected Passwords.
- If the password change was successful, you will see a message indicating that your password was successfully changed.
If there was a problem, review the error message carefully, and try again to reset the password. If you continue to have problems, please contact the IT Support Center.
