personal identification number (PIN)

Your PIN enables you to access OASIS. This is where you check final semester grades, register for classes, pay your bursar bill, etc. Learn and remember your PIN! It is a 6-digit number used in combination with your Social Security number. If you forget your PIN, you will need to contact the Registrar's Office (334-844-2547). For details about OASIS: http://www.auburn.edu/helpdesk/startup/stuoasis.html 

email and OIT account activation

Your OIT (Office of Information Technology) account gives you access to your student WebMail account, Web CT, and to other secure sites at Auburn University. Much of your coursework as a distance student will require you to log in using this OIT ID. Your student-related and official university email will be sent to your student address (userid@auburn.edu).
1.
Have pen and paper ready to record your initial password.
2
. Call 334/844-5800 from a touch-tone phone.
3.
Choose the option to "activate your e-mail and computer userid." You are asked to enter your student ID (social security number) and your PIN.
4.
The system gives you a seven-letter userid and an initial password. Your password is unique and is made up of random numbers. You are asked to enter the User ID and initial password to verify that you heard it correctly. Be sure to write down your userid and password. (If you forget it, you will be charged a fee to have it reset).
5
. Note: although the initial password will work to login to WebMail, it will NOT work for WebCT. Do not skip this step: change your password to something you can remember. Note: we recommend you use the same password on all AU systems, so check all the boxes on the Password Update page.

Now you're ready to use WebMail, WebCT, the OIT Computing labs and other AU computing resources.

Note: to login to the OASIS system, you do not use the AU userid and password but your Student ID (social security number) and PIN. For details, see About OASIS for Students.
