Description
Gannon University networks, emails, websites, and applications, are all shared resources. To ensure that they are only utilized by members of Gannon Faculty, Staff, and Students, a login is required before these resources can be utilized. Your Gannon Network ID and password are your tickets to using any of these resources.
Initial/default password: The last four digits of your SSN/SEVIS ID followed by capital initials for your first and last name, then written a second time to reach the 12+ character requirements (example: 1234AB1234AB). Don't have a first name? Use the capital initial of your last name twice (example: 1234AA1234AA).
