Basic Information for Everyone
Everyone in the Â鶹ƵµÀcommunity (faculty, staff and students) will use MyOxy to activate and manage their Â鶹ƵµÀusername and password (e.g., yourname @oxy.edu). This account allows you to access the College’s computer network and various online services, including your email, protected online material, software and services, and public computing labs on campus.
When you visit MyOxy, be sure to click on Activate as illustrated below. Use the initial password you recieved from either the admissions portal or your hiring manager. From there, change your password and set up your security questions.
​
Once you have activated your Â鶹ƵµÀaccount though my.oxy.edu, log in to your account; when prompted, type in your full @oxy.edu email address and your newly created password. The first time you log in, you’ll need to accept Google’s terms of service and complete a captcha. Be sure to check your Â鶹ƵµÀemail regularly, as all official College communication will be sent there. From here you can also access Google Calendar, Google Groups Mailing Lists, Google Drive, and other Google Workspace tools.
If you have a personal Gmail account, you can toggle between them by clicking the profile picture in the upper right corner. You can also "add a another account" here if Google automatically logs you into your personal account.
The first time you log onto wireless you'll need to register your device. Computers and phones will usually prompt you to log in. If your device doesn't or cannot prompt you via a browser (smart home devices, some gaming systems, etc.) you can register it using the MAC address.
