About Your UserID
Your UserID is your key to many online Albright systems and resources, including Albright Student Email, LionLink and Self Service. As a student, your UserID is typically formatted as firstname.lastname001, but may differ slightly if you have a name in common with another student, or have an exceptionally long name. Your UserID is the first portion of your Albright Student Email address that was communicated to you via a letter from the Admission office.
For example:
If your Albright student email address is john.smith001@albright.edu
Then your UserID would be john.smith001
Please contact the IT Services Help Desk at 610.921.7676 if you need assistance in obtaining your UserID.
About Your Passwords
As a new student, you will receive passwords to multiple systems: LionLink, Albright Student Email, and Self Service. While your UserID is valid for all of these systems, the passwords are separate and distinct. Initially, all three passwords have been set to the same temporary password, however as you begin to activate accounts and reset passwords, these systems will no longer retain the same password value unless you change all three to match.

Your LionLink account is now activated! For more information about your LionLink account please Click Here to visit our website.
