Account Creation Timeline

Students Accounts – For all systems are created when they register for credited courses for the first time.

NOTE: Accounts may take up to 24 hours to be created after the student registers for courses.

For students who previously did an application at MassBay in a previous semester, but never enrolled for courses; they will need to contact the Registrar’s office to enroll.

Students do not have accounts created until they’ve either attended a Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR) session or registered for a credit course. Students need to contact to Admissions for further steps.

Employee Accounts – created manually based on requests sent to the Help Desk ONLY by MassBay Human Resources.

Username / Default Password Format

Username Format

Students Accounts – [First initial] + underscore + [last name] + [optional numbers for common names]
