New Employee User Information

This page is to help people who are new to Siena learn some of the basics of technology on campus.  It will give general instructions, plus links to further information. 

Your account and Username

All Siena employees are given a network login and e-mail address.  If you haven't received one already, download a New Account Form (.pdf)  and fill it out. Once this is done and approved by your department chair, the account will be created. You will receive account information via a hardcopy letter, including your password.

Usernames are generated using the first letter of your first name and your last name: for example, gwashington.  To change your password, follow the password change instructions.

E-mail

Your e-mail address is your Username with "@siena.edu":  gwashington@siena.edu

Siena uses Outlook e-mail.  It can be accessed from your Siena PC or via the web, either as a web browser or through any mail client.

On campus, your account will be on your Siena computer.  If you don't have an assigned computer, or if you use a Macintosh, which doesn't support Outlook on the desktop, use web access.

To access, go to https://imail.siena.edu and log in using your network ID and password.  Instructions (.pdf) can be found on the technology pages.

Banner

Banner is our college information system.  ITS offers basic training sessions on Banner each month.  The schedule for Banner Basic Navigation and Banner Popsel/Lettergen (advanced) can be found on the Banner homepage.
