Subject: Upcoming Transition to Individual Classroom Logins
Over the next 12 months, EIU will be transitioning all classrooms and lab computers to sign in with individual logins. Logging into a classroom computer will be similar to logging into your office computer. At the end of class it is important to logoff or restart the device.
🎯 Why This Change Is Happening
This initiative is part of our broader effort to enhance security and streamline access to EIU resources. Individual logins will also allow for a more personalized and consistent experience across classrooms.
🚨Important Notes
Duo MFA will not be required to login to the computer.
The first login to the computer will take 1 - 3 minutes. Subsequent logins to the same computer will take less time as items are cached. If login times take longer than 3 minutes please email support@eiu.edu with the room and computer number.
You must logoff or restart the computer when finished with your class.
📅 Timeline & Rollout
Classrooms in Lumpkin Hall, Physical Science Building, and Klehm Hall were transitioned this summer.
The remaining classrooms will be transitioned over the next year.
🔐 What You’ll Need to Do
If the computer prompts you for a username/password, use your existing EIU credentials to log in. If a computer auto logins then the classroom has not be transitioned yet.
Reach out to IT if you experience any issues or need assistance during the transition.
If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the IT Help Desk at 217-581-HELP.
