Getting your login information-
To log into Blue you must first know your NetID. Your NetID is 8 characters long and is your initials plus 5 numbers e.g. abc12345. Your NetID is printed on your Creighton ID for easy access.  If you do not have your ID handy you can use the online address book by:

1. Go to the Creighton Medical Student homepage.
2. Click on the address book link.
3. Enter your first and last name.
4. Your NetID is listed in the box on the right side. Your NetID is the 8 character string to the left of the @. For example a NetID of abc12345 is listed in the address book as abc12345@creighton.edu.

Your default password for Blue  is doit@ and the last for digits of your Social Security Number e.g. doit@1234.  For security reasons it is a good idea you change your password from the default.  You can change your password one of two ways.  Either by logging into a computer with your Blue account and then pressing ctrl+alt+delete and then selecting the change password option.  Second, you can use a DoIT provided website at http://blueuse.creighton.edu.

If you forget this password or it has expired, you will need to go to the HelpDesk located in the Old Gym with a photo ID to get it reset.

How to log in-
When you select a link that is password protected, you will be greeted by one of two types of log in boxes. The first type of log in box is referred to as a three-line login box. This box will contain a line for your username, password and domain. For this box you will need to enter your NetID for your username, in the password section you will use your Blue password, and for domain you will need to enter 'Blue' without the quotes.

The second type of log in box is referred to as a two-line login box and will contain a line for your username and a line for your password. For username you will need to enter: 'Blue\' without the quotes, followed by your NetID. For example a person with the NetID of abc12345 would enter 'Blue\abc12345' without the quotes. For the password you would use your Blue domain password.
