A PSU computer account (called an Odin account) is available to all senior auditors after joining SALC. Your Odin account provides you with access to many valuable PSU resources:
- Canvas (virtual teaching and learning platform) - course content and some online classes (see more info below)
- Millar Library - a wide variety of online resources from PSU's library, including scholarly articles and journals
- Computer Labs - several locations across the campus
- PSU Gmail account - useful for communicating with the SALC office and with instructors. You can arrange to forward your PSU email to an existing personal email account.
Before using your Odin account, you must activate it with your student ID number and the activation/security code sent to you by the Office of the Registrar when you first joined SALC. You will be asked to create your own password.
To maintain a high level of account security, your Odin password automatically expires every 180 days. Prior to the expiration date, you will receive an email via your PSU Gmail account with a prompt to reset your password. If you do not regularly use your PSU Gmail account, you will have to remember to reset the password within the 180 day period.
Your Odin account remains active for one year from the end of the last class you audit. At the end of that period, your Odin account is disabled and you will not longer have access to resources such as your PSU Gmail.
If you wish to forward your pdx.edu emails to your personal email, follow steps listed in this guide.
