Student Log In Help for Online Courses

Usernames

Usernames to access Wake Tech's online courses and services include initials for first and middle names and last name.

For example, Suzie Q. Public's Key Account username would be sqpublic.

NOTE: Here are exceptions to that format:

• Omit the hyphen for hyphenated last names.
• Married female students may need to replace the middle initial with the initial of their unmarried name. (Mrs. Suzie Q. Student Online would log in with sqsonline.
• Sequential numbers will be automatically added to duplicate usernames.

Passwords

All new student Key Account initial activation passwords are set with a temporary password that combines the seven-digit student ID number, the first two letters of the student's first and last names, with the first letters of each being capitalized, and the student's date of birth in the MMYY format. Here is an example:

Student name: John Doe
Student ID #: 1234567
