My Departmental Account is Unclaimed and I am Unable to Claim It

Departmental accounts are often left unclaimed since they do not usually have an entry for the first and last name fields. Leaving these accounts unclaimed does not interfere with the functionality of the account.

As the owner of a Departmental Id, you can sign into http://netid.siu.edu with your own account, select user lookup, and search for the Id in question. You can select “manage accounts” from the drop down menu, and then change the password on the Id.
