Once you receive your Olivet username (emailed to you by Admissions), please complete the following instructions using both a computer and your phone.

Account Setup

First-time Login

   • Example default password: “ONU-####abc”

• ONU: uppercase
• hyphen (dash) after “ONU”

3. Once logged in, you will be prompted to create your own password.
   (If this does not happen, you must change your password manually at myaccount.microsoft.com under the “Change Password” item located in the left menu.)

3. On your computer, click “Next” until you reach the QR code.
4. Scan the QR code with your phone and tap “Approve” when prompted.
5. Configure a backup method: Follow the prompts to add a second recovery method (ex. Text/SMS).

Digital ID (TigerCard) Setup

Your ID provides access to secured buildings, meal plans, and other campus resources.

1. Install the Transact eAccounts app

2. Select ONU (Olivet Nazarene University) from the list.
3. Tap “ONU Login,” sign in, then tap the gear icon (top-right corner) and select “Submit ID Photo.”

Please wait 2 business days for your ID photo to be approved before completing these next steps.

1. Open the Transact eAccounts app on your phone.
