Setup

The BYU app allows you to access useful information on the go. You can get a digital copy of your ID card, map your classes, send YMessages, and so much more. You'll want this on your mobile device to stay in touch with the university.

There are two Wi-Fi networks you can connect. The first is the "BYU Secure" network which requires you to sign in with your netID and the password byuwireless. An additional network used in select buildings is called "eduroam." To log on to this network you will use your BYU netID and password. However, put your username in the format netid@byu.edu.

On-campus housing areas provide BYU network jacks in each apartment. Students are then welcome to bring their own compatible wireless access.

All BYU employees should have a BYU ID; it is your official university identification, but it can also open doors, access Cougar Cash, ride UTA for free, and other campus services.

Employees who need a first ID card, or want to replace a card that is more than 2 years old must do the following:

• Submit a photo online BEFORE visiting the ID Center. You have to submit a photo; the ID Center will not take a photo for you.
• Adults receiving their first ID card, must present a government photo ID when picking up their ID. The first ID is free.
• All replacement IDs cost $10 when the old card is not turned in.
• For more detailed information on the ID Center, go to their website here.

BYU ID Center: 1057 WSC, Provo UT 84602 • 801-422-5092 • idcenter@byu.edu

All university employees will be provided a secure BYU email account that should be used for all BYU communication; the email address looks like xxxxxxx@byu.edu. Your BYU Email account is accessed with Microsoft Outlook using your BYU Microsoft 365 account. Email accounts will automatically terminate if your position ends.

RingCentral is the phone app used for BYU employees to make and receive calls and text. It can be used on your phone and/or computer. The app is internet-based and needs internet to work. The department staff will order a phone number for you. Make sure your phone number is printed on syllabi, Learning Suite, and/or Canva so students can get ahold of you by phone if needed.

New faculty and adjuncts will receive keys to their office and to the department office. Pick up these keys from the CAL Office Manager.

Desktop computers are available in the shared adjunct offices. Contact BYU Surplus if you are interested in renting a computer you can take home or a laptop on the go.

If you need to print pages for your class(es), check out a printing card from the CAL Office Manager. The printing card has $20/month loaded on it. Do NOT use the printing card for personal copies.
Open access printers are located all over campus and you can print directly from your laptop. After you download the print driver, it's easy to send your print job to any of these printers. Just swipe your printing card at the printer. There are also several copy centers you can use for special printing projects. How to Print
You can also come by the department office and make copies or print on the copier/printer in the workroom.

The BYU Library offers FREE training for faculty on all kinds of software. These training courses are generally 1-2 hours/day for one to two weeks. Topics include Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator, DSLR basics, and Basic Studio.

Online registration is available at cars.byu.edu or logging into My BYU and choosing the update parking information registration link. Parking privileges do not guarantee the availability of parking on campus. Employees can park in employee lots, but this benefit does not extend to spouses or children of employees or any other relative. An employee can only have ONE of their registered vehicles ACTIVE on their BYU account at a time to use. If you have multiple cars registered on your BYU account, make sure whichever car is parked on campus is marked as ACTIVE on your parking app. You can get a citation if you park a car on campus that is DEACTIVATED.
