Setting Up Your VikingOne Account
As an ECSU student, you must setup your VikingOne password with your one time authorization code prior to access the following services: e-mail, university computers, wi-fi, Blackboard, E4U, LinkedIn Learning, and Self-Service Banner (SSB).
- Locate the email from ECSU Division of Information Technology (DIT) that includes your Banner ID & ECSU Email address.
- To get started, go to the Self-Service Password Portal to setup your VikingOne account password.
- Setup your password by first logging in with your one time authorization code.
- Do this by selecting the "By providing the answer to your security question" radio button from the menu and click Next.
- Enter Viking$$MMDD, where MM and DD represent the month and day of your date of birth, and hit SUBMIT.
- The system will ask that you set up your security questions and create a custom password.
- Once you have setup your password, verify that you can access ECSU services, such as your ECSU-issued email account.
You will need to visit the Self-Service Password Portal to change your password:
- If it has been 90 days or more since you last changed your password
- If you believe your password is known to anyone other than you
- If you forgot your password
Reminders
- Never share your password. DIT staff will never ask for your secret password.
- Please reach out to our Helpdesk at 252-335-3532 should you have any questions about your initial password setup. You must bring
an ID card such as a driver’s license to verify your identity.
- E-mail regarding your classes, student information and bills will be sent to
your student e-mail.
-
You may have to wait up to 5 minutes after password management before successful authentication can occur. Contact our Helpdesk at 252-335-3532 if you have trouble logging into your E-mail with your VikingOne account.
