Computing Accounts, IDs & Passwords

Unity computing accounts

Each student and employee at NC State automatically receives a Unity computing account with an ID and a default password. This Unity ID and password enable access to many online and IT resources.

In addition, some NC State employees have computing accounts and passwords that grant enhanced access to administrative computing systems and services provided by OIT.
