What is my unique student username?


You are assigned a unique user name and password, when you create your AU computer accounts. Be sure to memorize this information.

Your user name is based on your first and last initials, plus the last four digits of your AU ID number and the letter a. For example, a student named Jane Doe, with an AU ID of 1234567, would be assigned a user name of jd4567a. If two students have the same initials and last four ID digits, one will be jd4567a and the other will be jd4567b.

AU student e-mail addresses use the form:
username@student.american.edu

In this example, Jane Doe's student e-mail address would be:
jd4567a@student.american.edu

You may contact the OIT Help Desk to request an e-mail alias of firstname.lastname@student.american.edu.

IMPORTANT: All electronic correspondence from the university will be sent to your "student.american.edu" e-mail address.
