SMU Computer Accounts

Engineering faculty receive two computer accounts from SMU. Each can be used for email and web site creation, but have separate login IDs and passwords:

OIT computer accounts (smu.edu)

Each new faculty member is assigned an email account by the university’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) group, of the form: yourname@smu.edu or yourname@mail.smu.edu. It is to this address that all official announcements are sent, including rosters requested from access.smu.edu. Notification is sent to the EMIS administrative assistant when the account is established, and that notification is forwarded to the faculty, per the following example:

      From: Help Desk [mailto:help@mail.smu.edu]

      Change Order #: xxxxx
      Employee Name: Vernon D Smith
      Employee Email Address:       vdsmith@smu.edu
      Password: xxxxxxxx

      ITS has completed the creation of the requested account. If desktop
      configuration for email is required, please contact the help desk at
      214-768-4357.  Please include the Change Order number listed above for
      reference.

      If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please
      contact the ITS Help Desk at ext. 8-4359 or online at

      Thanks,

To access this account from a web browser, faculty can log in to webmail.smu.edu, with their 8-digit SMU ID number as the login ID and the above password. From this page, email can be retreived and sent.

Once you receive your email account, please sign up for the online password reset tool. See ITS Account Passwords description page for reasons and instructions.

Engineering School computer accounts (engr.smu.edu)

Each new engineering faculty member must request an account for the School of Engineering computer network. This enables use of classroom PCs and other school services. See computer account request page for details.
