Accounts & Passwords


An account is automatically created for new students and employees. During this automated process, the username (e.g. kuabc123), student/employee (e.g. K12345678), and email address will be created for student, staff, and faculty. A student’s account is created after they have been accepted to the University. Staff and faculty’s account is created via the Human Resources hiring process.

iTech provides the end user the ability to change their own password by going to the iTech Password Reset pageThe web self-service password reset page does not require your old password and you will be able to view your email address and user name.  You will need to log in using your Student/Faculty/Staff ID (BannerID/K-number example: K12345678) and Birthdate.
