Change Your TU Password

In order to keep your TU account secure, it is advisable to change your password each semester. Changing your password is simple: it takes less than 5 minutes! Just be sure to remember these two important things:

When you change your TU email password, your Blackboard and Hawklink password is automatically changed at the same time.
Be sure to note your new password. People most commonly forget their their password after they change it.

Follow these steps to change your TU Email password:

Log in to your TU email account.
Select "options".
Select "change password".
Fill out the form in the pop-up window:
- Domain = thomasu
- Account = your email/username (ie. jane.student)
- Old password = the password you have now
- New password = what you want your password to be
- Confirm password = enter the new password again
Rule for passwords! This is important; for security purposes your password must meet the following rules:
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length
- Passwords must contain at least 1 letter and at least 1 number
- Special characters (@!&%, etc.) are allowed. We recommend using at least one special character as well.
- See How to Create a Secure Password for help with this.
Click the "submit" button.
You will get a message in the pop-up window saying that your password has been successfully changed.
The next time you log-in to your TU email, Blackboard, or Hawklink, be sure to use your new password!
