First you will go to the e-ID creation and Maintenance page at siue.edu/eid (you can use forward or back slash). Select I want to get an e-ID and click continue: 

1st Page) You will enter your information fully into all the fields. Make sure to click continue on each page. (Clicking Reset will make you start over. User will continue through every page). (If you get errors please try leaving out your middle initial).

2nd Page) Explanation of external email 

NOTE: Email will NOT be sent until you get to the last page showing your e-ID and password.

3rd Page)  Email addresses we have on file

NOTE: If you do not have one on file you can get one added/updated with the service center(Students) or HR(Faculty/Staff)

4th Page) Then you will create a secret phrase and a clue for your phrase. This is only used if you forget your password and want to change it online. 

5th Page) The next page is the User Agreement page. You can read through the agreement, select agree and continue to the next page. 

6th Page) The last page will provide you with your e-ID and a new password for your account. After the user receives their e-ID and password we advise users to sign up for e-lerts. E-lerts let users reset their password with a text, and also send users text if there is a campus closure or emergency event on campus.

After users get their e-id and password they can then enter the key code with the instructions in the email. It will have them go back to the e-ID creation and maintenance page and select "I received my key code and I need to preserve my e-ID". They will then enter their e-ID, password, and they key code. 

NOTES:

• Users can update their password immediately using the "I know what my password is and I want to change it" option
• If you reset someone's password in person it will be all lowercase letters and numbers, but if they go through the I want to get an e-ID process it will randomly generate upper and lowercase letters and numbers (no special characters)
