If this is your first time logging into your North Park accounts, you should receive account information from Admissions (for Students) or Human Resources (for Employees).

1. Authentication App (IT recommends the Microsoft Authenticator App)

2. Personal Email

3. Personal Phone (text or voice)

Account Verification

Your Authentication Methods are used to verify and gain access to your account. If you are unable to access or recover your account in this way, IT Support Services will ask to verify your personal information to ensure account security. IT Staff may ask for photo ID or other information in order to assist you.
