What is a K-State eID?
eID is short for “electronic ID”. It’s the name for your central computer ID that serves as your primary “electronic identity” at K-State. The concept is “one eID, one password” for each K-State student, faculty, staff, alumnus, and guest. There’s a limit of one eID per person. More importantly, your eID gives you access to many K-State resources — including e-mail, a personal webpage, access to the Digital Library, free antivirus software, and more. Students can use it to access their student information in KATS and to vote online. K-State employees can use it to access their personnel information. The eID resource list is the comprehensive list. With your eID, you also manage your eProfile — to change your password, turn e-mail forwarding on, set spam-filtering options, and so forth.
