Kerberos ID (aka MIT email addresses)
All enrolled students will be receiving an MIT email ID, known as kerberos ID. We will always send program information to the email that you used in registration, the Kerberos ID is to authenticate for MIT-provided IT services, such as mit.zoom.us or the educational version of Minecraft. To check your MIT email, please use https://owa.exchange.mit.edu/, DUO authentication is not required. Students are not provided Microsoft 365 accounts and M365 accounts should not be needed to complete our summer program.
This account will allow you to join zoom meetings that require an MIT account authentication. It will be up to you to pick a username (be wise in your selection) and password that you will need when authenticating on zoom.
Your Kerberos account will be active for one year and is not renewable (well, unless you become an MIT student or employee ☺ ). The account set up is all handled remotely. If a student is asked to leave the program for any reason, their Kerberos account will be deactivated.
MIT Information Services and Technology (IS&T) are responsible for managing the process and can be reached at support@mit.edu for questions on this process for MIT kerberos accounts.
For DUO/Touchstone questions and directions: https://duo.mit.edu/
Questions about what's available or how-to's can be search for on http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/home/The+Knowledge+Base. For specific information on resetting your MIT password, see: http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/BZI7
Last Resort!
Email bwsi-admin with your questions if you do not see the answers you need on this page. BWX-help or BWinfo or BWwebmaster will only take longer to get an answer.
