Account Opening Guide for a computer account at the Technion

General

To access the Technion computing resources, opening an account is required.

This account, which is maintained and supported by the CIS Division, allows access to systems such as course registration, grades, e-mail, data bases and other computer resources on campus.

According to the Technion policy, the opening of computer accounts is done as follows:

Academic staff accounts are opened by the Office of Academic Staff

Accounts for administrative staff at the Technion and the Technion Research & Development Foundation are opened by human resources departments at the Technion and at the Technion Research & Development Institute.

Student accounts are opened on self-service according to the guidelines published here

Account Opening

 

User account opening is done by the student himself at the account management site
http://cis-account.technion.ac.il/ , in the link
** I have no account, or : forgot the password or account name **
using the secret code and following the instructions. At the end of the process, a computer account is created with a username out of a selection of options that combine first and last name in English, e.g. moshecohen, and an email address moshecohen@campus.technion.ac.il
The account management site provides a range of self-service operations, such as password reset, restore and update of a secret code,and cell phone number update in order to receive text messages.

Email   


The Technion provides the students with an advanced e-mail system based on the
Office 365 cloud infrastructure. Among its outstanding qualities is 50GB mailbox size, 1TB personal storage capacity and the privilege to use Microsoft Office software on
5 devices as chosen by the student. For full details see the CIS Division site.
Access to the e-mail system is at http://mail.campus.technion.ac.il .

Having an email account is a prerequisite for course registration and all routine administrative matters at the Technion. The account will be used by the student throughout the course of his/her studies at the Technion. Technion official messages are sent to this e-mail and are treated as a registered letter sent to the student’s address.
The account will be used by the student through all degree studies in the Technion, and will also be maintained  after graduation (subject to the agreement with the service provider).

Technion computer use is subject to the Technion resource usage regulations.
