2: After that is complete, contact the Technology Services Help Desk 608-246-6666 B2277 if you would like your username and student email address updated.

If you are a student and also an employee, you will have both a Student Account and an Employee Account. You will have two accounts with two usernames, passwords, and email addresses.The policies, allocations and permissions vary. 

Your username and password for your program or certificate admissions application is probably different than your Madison College Student Account username and password. They are separate processes.
