OVERVIEW OF SERVICE
Computer accounts are the key to electronic services at Drexel; virtually all resources require a current userID and password to access them. Drexel IT provides accounts for all University-wide resources to students, faculty, and professional staff. Other departments may issue accounts used to access their own services.
All accounts issued by IT use the same "user ID" made up of your initials followed by a number. When your accounts are first set up they will all use the same password, but you can change each account's password individually.
Drexel accounts are organized into three main groups: Common, Add-On, and Administrative Accounts.
Common Accounts
Common Accounts are automatically issued to students and Drexel-paid faculty, professional staff.

A domain account is a user account that is authenticated and managed centrally within a computer network domain. You Drexel Domain account is used to provide access to the Drexel network as well as to secured computers, file servers, Office 365, SharePoint sites, and other Windows-based services. It is stored and managed in our Azure Active Directory which allows us to provide Single-Sign On (SSO) capabilities through the Drexel Connect service |
