Admitted students are assigned a Kentucky State University email account, which they will use to access the technology resources and Learning Management System housing their online courses and learning resources. The Kentucky State University account is part of the kysu.edu domain and conforms to the security protocols of KSU's Information Technology Services.2

Students must abide by the Information Technology policies and procedures for acquiring a KSU computing account, securing it, authenticating their access to it, and securely accessing the data, educational content, and technology resources of Kentucky State University.

When students enroll at Kentucky State University, they are assigned a University computing account on the kysu.edu domain.3 This account is associated with their KSU ID, which the Registrar assigns. After students log in to their University account, they must create a password that resets every 180 days, conforming to the following criteria:

In addition to this account password security, the University computing accounts require multi-factor authentication.5 Once students complete account set-up, they use their KSU computing account to log on to the KYSU Online learning management system to access their courses.6 Students can access their courses and learning resources only if their KSU computing account (on the kysu.edu domain) has been assigned to the course by the Learning Management System Administrator in coordination with the Registrar's Office and the Office of Online Education. This ensures that only students who have completed course registration as confirmed by the Registrar are granted access permissions to credit-bearing courses.
