Campus Technology Information

How do I log in to a computer on campus?

To log in to a computer on campus, use your K# or K#@ivcc.edu for the username and your Eagle Mail password (same password used for Eagle Mail and Brightspace). 

If prompted to reset this password, remember to create a password meeting the following requirements:

• 14 or more characters in length
• At least 3 of the 4:  uppercase, lowercase, number, special character
• This password becomes your IVCC Eagle Mail and Brightspace password.  After resetting your computer password, please allow 2-3 minutes before logging in to your Eagle Mail or Brightspace. This allows time for your computer password to sync as your Eagle Mail and Brightspace password. See Email Information.

You will be required to reset your password every 90 days. 

• You will receive a password reset reminder via email at the 80-day mark.  
• You are not forced to change your password OFF campus using your email, but it is highly recommended to change your password after 90 days.  
• If you log in to a campus computer and your password has expired, you will be forced to change the password while ON campus. 

Password Tips 

• Since your IVCC campus computer password, Eagle Mail password, and Brightspace password are always the same, be sure to have your password ready when you come to campus. Some instructors require testing on IVCC campus computers. 
• If you get locked out of your account, and cannot reset your password via email, contact the Student Help Desk. 

How do I connect to Wi-Fi on campus?

IVCCguest Wi-Fi is available at IVCC's Main Campus in Oglesby and at the Ottawa Center in Ottawa. The process for connecting to a Wi-Fi network will vary slightly depending on what type of computer or device you're using, but any system will require that you locate the list of available networks from your network settings.
