What is a BlueNet Account?
A BlueNet account is a unique username and password issued to employees to access computing services both on and off campus. A BlueNet account is used to log in to campus computers and other systems.
How Do I Request a New BlueNet Account?
New employee BlueNet account requests are initiated by a supervisor or designee. To request a BlueNet account for an employee, log in to the BlueNet Account Request System using your own BlueNet account username and password and follow the on-screen instructions. Click here for detailed instructions on how to use this system.
If you are requesting a BlueNet Account for a vendor or unpaid employee (volunteer, intern, etc), please complete the online Vendor/Unpaid Employee Account request form.
How do I request additional access for an employee, such as distribution lists or Banner access?
Distribution Lists

I am using the BlueNet Account Request System and am receiving an error message, what does it mean?
Student Account Exists
This message is displayed when the employee has an active student BlueNet account. Employees (other than student workers) can only have one type of BlueNet account, an employee account. By pressing Continue, the employee’s existing student account will be disabled and their new employee BlueNet account will become their primary account. All student records, such as transcripts and billing information, will be accessible to them via WebCentral-Banner Web using their employee BlueNet account. Their student “@my.ccsu.edu” email address will remain active as that is a separate account maintained by Microsoft.
You would not receive this message when requesting a BlueNet account for certain types of student workers (undergraduate students, graduate assistants, graduate interns, co-op students, work study students). These types of student workers maintain their student BlueNet account and receive a separate employee BlueNet account. The username of the employee BlueNet account begins with “st_” to indicate that they are a student worker.
Student Worker and Student Accounts Exist
This message is displayed when the employee has both an active student worker BlueNet Account and an active student account. The active student worker account is most likely due to the person being employed as a student worker in another department. If this is the case and the employee is transferring to your department, then the personnel records need to be updated before an account can be created for the employee in your department. Please email hrseparations@ccsu.edu to notify the appropriate departments (Human Resources and Business Services) that the employee is transferring to your department. Once the employee’s record is updated, you may log back in to the BlueNet Account Request System to request an employee BlueNet account.

Incomplete Employee Record
This message is displayed when the employee’s record in the Banner system is not complete. You may have submitted the appropriate paperwork, however the system has not been updated to reflect the employee’s status as an employee in your department. Please contact Human Resources at x21756 to check the status of the employee’s paperwork. Once the employee’s Banner record has been completed, you may log back in to the BlueNet Account Request System to request an employee BlueNet account.
No Account Exists
This message is displayed when you are attempting to modify an employee's access and the 8-digit ID number you entered does not match an existing employee. Please verify that you have entered the correct 8-digit ID number or initiate a new employee account request.
