Onboarding is the term used to describe the distribution of DCU credentials to all new DCU students. These credentials allow new students access DCU systems while they are a student at the university.
New Students to DCU
Each new student to DCU is allocated a unique email address and password that is used to log into your DCU email address, DCU systems and to register for your course. New students will be sent a communication to outline how to access this information, (Please check your spam folder if you have not received the communication email).
While logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to set up multi factor authentication. This helps to ensure that your DCU user account has optimal security applied. More information regarding Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) can be found on the student MFA page here. Once registered for MFA, you can use this online service in future to reset your password, provided you have your username.
