What is your Andrew account?

Your Andrew account is your gateway to the computing environment at Carnegie Mellon.

Andrew accounts are created as part of the onboarding process for all new students, faculty, and staff to give access to email, network registration, public computer labs, and other resources.

Temporary accounts can also be created for visitors at the request of an active sponsor. Your Andrew account credentials include your Andrew userID and password.

What is your Andrew userID?

Your Andrew userID (AndrewID) is the username for your Andrew Account. Your Andrew userID is automatically created by Computing Services using a 3-8 character combination of your first, sometimes middle, and last name or initials.

You Andrew userID is required for all Web Login services including email, CMU SIO, network access (to the campus wired and wireless networks), public computer labs, and more.

In cases where many people have similar names and initials, your Andrew userID may also include a number.

You cannot change your Andrew userID or your Andrew email address. However, you can establish a different university email address by creating an email alias.

What is your Andrew email address?

Your Andrew userID is used to create your official university Andrew email address as follows: [Andrew userID]@andrew.cmu.edu.
