How do I get a computer account?‌

The username you receive for your computer account is unique to the University

Permanent and fixed term contract staff are issued with a six digit payroll number by Human Resources. Your Campus Account ID/username is derived by preceding your six digit payroll number with a leading zero ‘0’ and add a trailing ‘S’. e.g. payroll no. 123456 is CASS ID 0123456s. Contact Information Solutions and Services (ISS) for your activation password
Casual staff on the NUI Galway payroll get a six digit payroll ID from the Payroll Office. Your Campus Account ID/Username will follow the same format as permanent and fixed term contract staff above. Contact Information Solutions and Services (ISS) for your activation password
Visitors or temporary users (staff-sponsored visitors to NUI Galway) get an External ‘E’ account and activation password assigned by Information Solutions and Services (ISS). ISS will provide your Campus Account credentials, ID number (e.g. 0012345E) and password. These accounts are issued for a period of less than one academic year.

You must activate your Campus Account before accessing any of the below services.

You will use this username and password to access a range of IT services, Email, PCs, Parking, WiFi, Blackboard, Library Systems and CORE portal. For security reasons it is important that you change the password regularly. ‌
