Your Andrew account is your gateway to the computing environment at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh and Qatar. Students, faculty, and staff accounts grant access to email, network registration, public computer labs (clusters) and other resources. AndrewID serves as the username for CMU systems and the associated password (referred to as Andrew Password) are used to login to nearly all CMU computing systems.

The AndrewID is a central ID used to access the computing environment at Carnegie Mellon, and the associated password is updated centrally so that a new password is consistently updated on all systems. This service enables you to set, reset, or recover a forgotten password.

Affiliates of Carnegie Mellon that are not directly appointed by the university, and are required to carry out work for the institution such as contractors or vendors, can obtain a sponsored AndrewID to fulfill their obligations.  The account must be sponsored by a member of staff, faculty or department whom require the work carried out.  Personal Sponsored accounts are intended to fill long-term account needs.
