Web Access Activation Procedures for Students
At the beginning of a student's first term at Lehigh their web access is enabled. Each student must go through the following steps to activate their account. Not doing so will cause the student's account to be disabled. To re-enable the account the student will need to report with ID to the Registrar's Office and request that the account be enabled.
Web access for new students is enabled approximately one week prior to the start of a given semester.
To activate your account you will need to do the following:
- Open the Registrar's Homepage at http://www.lehigh.edu/~inrgs using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
- Select Login to Secure Area
- Login by entering your 9-digit Lehigh University ID number in the User ID box (without dashes). In the PIN field, enter your birth date in numberical format (MMDDYY). (This is your Login PIN, not the Registration PIN supplied by your advisor).
- Click on Login
- You will be asked to reenter your PIN in the numerical format of your birth date.
- Your birth date PIN is set to expire on your first login and you must enter a new 6-digit (no letters or punctuation) PIN that will be secure to you. Select a 6-digit number that you can remember. The PIN must be secure. The system will reject your entry if you attempt to make your new PIN your birth date or any simple numerical sequence like "123456" or "222222".
- The system will then prompt you for a Forgotten PIN question. Establishing a question and answer that will enable the system to assist you if you forget your PIN by allowing you to answer the question you have provided (EXAMPLE: What is my dog's name? ANSWER: Spot.) DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR QUESTION/ANSWER. You will need this if you forget your PIN in the future. At that time you will need to click on "Forgotten PIN," answer your customized question, input your name and ID to receive your new PIN, as long as all prompts are answered correctly.
- When you have completed these steps you will have secure login access to our student database.
You now have access to several capabilities including your transcript, personal information, schedule of classes, grades and drop/add once you meet with and are cleared by your adviser. Instructions for drop/add are available on the Registrar's homepage.
This, however, is not your e-mail account activation.
