New to OU?

Welcome to the Oglethorpe community!

After being admitted/deposited your Oglethorpe User ID will be emailed to the personal email address you gave us during the admission process. Most of the time this is your first initial and your last name together. In the case of duplicate usernames, a number will be at the end of your user ID (e.g. [email protected]).

You’ll use this account for all official Oglethorpe business including:

  • registering for classes via OASIS
  • completing online course assignments in Canvas
  • checking your email account
  • logging onto campus computers

After you receive your ID you will need to log onto OASIS to set your password.

    *If you do not have a Social Security Number please contact the IT Services Help Desk for your temporary password.
  3. You will be prompted to change your password.
  4. Your password should be a minimum of 15-24 characters in length, upper- and lower-case letters, one number, and a special character (!, #,$,%). Dictionary words are not permitted.
