Please Note:
 Parents or Authorized Persons are not able to make changes to student's accounts such as purchase or change Campus Essentials for students or Waive Insurance for a student. These need to be handled by the student themselves.

Passwords

Passwords for my.SMU accounts expire every 365 days. If you are experiencing trouble with your password you can go to our password tool at smu.edu/password and try changing your password.  It is also recommended that you enroll in the password tool to setup security questions for your account.  In the event that you forget your password or your account gets locked out you can answer the security questions and reset your password online.

Additional assistance for account passwords can be obtained by calling the IT Help Desk at 214-768-HELP(4357).

 For security reasons, we cannot send password information via email.
