Your Rowan Network account is your key to connecting to critical resources on campus, including the University's secure wireless network and student email. To activate your Network account for the first time, follow the steps below. 

• Enroll in Duo. Go to duo.rowan.edu, click the “I don't know my Rowan Network Username/Password” link and follow the prompts to verify your identity and register a device. Follow these instructions for help.
• Set your Network password.  Go to id.rowan.edu, click the “I need to set or reset my password” link and follow the prompts to verify your identity and set your password. Follow these instructions for help.

 

Your Banner ID and PIN provide access to Self-Service Banner, the system you will use to register for classes, apply for housing and manage your personal information.

• Locate your Banner ID. Your Banner ID will be included in your admissions materials, orientation email invitation and the mailing label from the orientation reminder. You can also visit id.rowan.edu and log in with the username and password you obtained in the first step to locate that information.
• Change your Banner PIN. Your Banner PIN is initially your birth date as MMDDYY. Log in to Self-Service Banner at ssb.rowan.edu with your Banner ID and default PIN, and you will be prompted to change your PIN.
