AU Username

You are able to create your own AU Username by clicking on the "Create Your Account: Faculty and Staff" link below the login button on the portal homepage. You can do this online once you have received your seven digit ID number and have visited Human Resources to verify your I-9 paperwork. The HR office is located on 3201 New Mexico Ave NW, Room 350, a short walk from main campus. If you are having trouble creating your AU Username, please call the university's Office of Technology directly at 202-885-2550.

​

AU Email

Once your AU username is set up, you will be able to login to the portal. In the top right hand corner of the portal home screen, there is a link to "Email" which will direct you to the web-based Microsoft Outlook page. Enter your AU Username@american.edu and the password you created. Please note to send any student and official university related emails from your AU account. This is important for the sake of historical student records and compliance with AU's communication standards.

​

AU ID Card

HR will email you an offer letter which will include your AU ID number. Once you receive this, you can stop into the One Card office in the Mary Graydon Center in Room 123. They are open Mondays through Thursdays 9am - 4:30pm, and Fridays 11:30am - 4:30pm. Please submit a photo for your ID card using these instructions. After your ID card is created, please let Blake or Johanna know, and they will give you access to the adjunct office (MCK T11), copy/mail rooms (MCK 223 and 372), and the Faculty/Staff Lounge (MCK 300).

​

ACTION ITEMS: Go to the HR office after completing your I-9 paperwork, set up your AU Username, and go to the One Card office for your ID. Follow up with Blake or Johanna once you have completed these three items.
