Your IT account

Your IT account

All new doctoral students, post-docs, students, permanent staff and support staff receive a username and password as part of the Ecole Polytechnique registration process. Your username is sent to you by the laboratory secretariat, and you must request your temporary password from the Ecole polytechnique IT department by sending an email to support(Q)polytechnique(P)fr(P)(P)

Your username is unique to you and stays the same as long as you remain at the Ecole polytechnique. You’ll use it to log in to your IT account, and to other services.

Set up your account

Note

All staff, including students who are employed at the Ecole polytechnique, are required to change their password annually, or more frequently if they have access to restricted data. For more details, see our web page on Passwords.
