Each member of the Bentley community has numerous accounts which grant access to different computing resources. In order to
access these accounts, you must log in using a username and
password. Default passwords should be changed immediately
after being used to log in to a resource for the first time.
There are three usernames which you will have at Bentley.
Your Bentley short name. |
Your Bentley short name will grant you access to Blackboard and Falcon Find IT. The syntax for your short name is the first seven letters of your last name, followed by an underscore, followed by the first four letters of your first name. Some of you may have a number in your short name (ex. SMIT2_JOE). This means that another member of the Bentley community has the same name and that your username was already taken. Since all usernames must be unique to each individual, a number has been added. |
Your Bentley e-mail address. |
Your Bentley e-mail address will grant you access to the Bentley your computer and public computers, the network, your e-mail account, falcon card and library resources from off campus. This is also the e-mail address you can share with your family and friends. The syntax for your Bentley e-mail address is your Bentley short name, followed by @bentley.edu. |
Your Bentley ID. |
The syntax for your Bentley ID is the @ symbol followed by your 8-digit Bentley ID number. Your Bentley ID will grant you access to MyBentley and Work Order Requests. Work order submission system – students use this for maintenance issues with their dorm rooms. This password is without the “@” sign. This ID number can also be found on your Falcon Card. |
