Student Account Activation
Student accounts must be activated before use by running through a simple "First-Time User" process linked at myIPFW. Students will need to have their birth date and last four digits of their Social Security number or 9-digit IPFW ID number. This activation can be performed either on campus or off.
Be sure to memorize or write down your username when it is displayed. For security reasons, it is recommended that you never write down your password.
Off Campus
Go to myIPFW and click the yellow button that reads "Get me started". Follow the prompts.
On Campus - Student Lab Station
Log into a lab workstation with the username: activate and the password: activate. Go to myIPFW and click the yellow button that reads "Get me started". Follow the prompts.
On Campus - Email Quick Kiosk
Walk up to one of the Email Quick Stations. Click the Activate IPFW Network ID link. Follow the prompts.
If you need assistance, see the student consultant in any student lab or contact the Help Desk.
