All students who are registered for classes at the University receive a user account within 48 hours of registration. This account allows access to the Benedictine Network, MyBenU, and our email system. To use these services you must follow our Acceptable Use Policy, which can be found in our Technology Information Packet for Students (T.I.P.S), which details the technology resources at Benedictine University.

Benedictine University will use the student email system as a primary method to communicate information. It is your responsibility to check your Benedictine University email account on a frequent basis to insure you are aware of all University deadlines.

Your username will be in the following format; b+your seven digit student id number. For example, b1234567. The initial password for this account will be the last four digits of your social security number twice. For example if your social security number is 123-45-6789 your initial password will be 67896789. The system will prompt you to change your password the first time you log into the local network, or you can access https://www.ben.edu/stuadmin to reset your password. You will be required to change your password every 90 days.
