Welcome New and Returning Students!
Information Technology Services (ITS) wishes all of you an exciting and successful year ahead! Below we highlight products and services available to you during your time at RISD.
RISD Account & Password Information
Your RISD Account gives you access to Email, WiFi, Workday, Adobe CC and more. Some services require the full email address (i.e. jsmith12@risd.edu) and others only require the username (i.e. jsmith12).
Your password expires every six months. The system will send email reminders two weeks before it expires. Visit password.risd.edu to Change your password. Be sure to enroll a mobile number and/or alternate email address so you may use the Forgot Password link to reset your password via email or text message.
Duo 2 Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication enhances the security of your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity (e.g. mobile, landline, hardware token, etc.). This will prevent anyone from accessing your account, even if they know your password. RISD utilizes Duo 2FA for this extra layer of security. To enroll, please see Duo Security's instructions: https://guide.duo.com/enrollment
RISD Email (requires Duo 2FA)
RISD uses Google Workspace for Education (Mail, Calendar, Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.) for email. Visit gmail.com and sign in using your full RISD email address (username@risd.edu) and password.
Workday (requires DUO 2FA)
At RISD we use Workday to manage student financials and academic records. Visit Workday and sign in using your RISD username and password. You may view the fullinstructions here: Signing in to Workday
