How do I use the computers at SUNY Adirondack?
SUNY Plattsburgh students studying at our Queensbury campus are issued a separate
username and password to log-in to the computers and access wifi on the SUNY Adirondack
campus. To find this information, log in to your Plattsburgh Portal with your typical
Plattsburgh NetID and password. On the home tab, your “ADK Username” and “ADK Temporary
Password” are displayed in the upper left corner underneath your name; see figure
below. Upon first log-in using your SUNY Adirondack credentials, you will need to
reset your password following these steps.
Your SUNY Plattsburgh credentials are used to access all Plattsburgh services (the
Plattsburgh Portal, email, Brightspace, etc.) and will be used much more frequently
than your new Adirondack credentials.

How do I use the Wi-Fi at SUNY Adirondack?
This depends on the operating system and type of hardware you use. Generally speaking,
you would use your SUNY Adirondack student account information to access the wireless
network with a wireless security key. More information on how to connect can be found
in the Queensbury campus office. We welcome your visit to help troubleshoot your technology
or other concerns.
Brightspace
Brightspace is the learning management system (LMS) all students will use to access
course materials, including course calendars, assignments, grades and important announcements.
How do I access Brightspace? — Action Required!
You can login to Brightspace via my.plattsburgh.edu.
By default, your Brightspace account will be connected to the email address of the
school you previously attended. Notifications will go to an email address you may
no longer have access to.
To change notification settings in Brightspace so you receive notices from your professors
when you take an online class, send an email to [email protected] from your Plattsburgh account requesting that your Brightspace account <<list previous
school’s email>> be updated to Plattsburgh <<list new Plattsburgh email>>.
