Student Accounts

While attending Trine University you will need to access various digital resources that require a username and password. We are currently working on making all accounts universal so that you will only have one username and password.

Note: Usernames may be the same, but passwords are mutually exclusive, changing a password on one system (Email) does not change it on another (MyTrineCourse).

Trine Network Account:

• Access: network resources, remote library resources, computer labs on main campus.
• Username naming convention: first initial middle initial last name
  Example: John D Smith username is jdsmith
• Password: Initally set to your date of birth in the following format: MMDDYYYY
• Difficulty Accessing?: call the Help Desk 260.665.4275. You will need your student id for verification.
