USER ACCOUNTS
Every student and employee has a MyAccess Southern account; it's your online identity
from the time you register or arrive on campus. You may maintain your MyAccess account
and Southern email address even after you leave, however, it's important to note that your account will expire if left inactive for
one year. To avoid any interruptions in communication, we highly recommend accessing
and utilizing your university email account regularly.
- Go to: http://myaccess.southern.edu.
- Click on the "Create Account" button.
- Enter your Southern ID number, birth date, and Social Security number.
- Choose a user name and password.
Usually within 15 minutes (or less), your account is set up and you may log in (top-right corner of Southern's website).
- A southern.edu email account
- Wireless internet (campus-wide)
- Wired internet (residence hall students)
- Access to electronic resources (library research site, computer labs, MyAccess Southern, etc.)
- Network file space (accessible from any lab computer or your personal computer)
If you are an alumnus and need access to your expired Southern MyAccess account
and/or email account, please send an email to it-helpdesk@southern.edu and include your Southern ID number, username, phone number and date of birth.
If you request to reactivate your Southern email address, please note that previous emails stored in your mailbox will not be restored. Once a mailbox is left inactive for one year and expires, the contents of the mailbox are not recoverable.
