If you are a new student, faculty or staff you must activate your campus account before you can access your Whitman email or the campus network.

If you are a continuing student, faculty, or staff member then your account is already activated. If you forget your password and need to have it reset contact the Help Desk at x4976 or email helpdesk@whitman.edu. Please note that you will need to come into the WCTS office with valid picture ID to have your password reset.

To Activate your Account:

Step 1: Make sure that you have your Datatel ID, the 5-7 digit number printed on the front of your Whitman ID card (under your name). If you are a new student, instructions on getting your Datatel ID were provided in your new student packet you received in May.

Step 2: Go to any computer connected to the Internet (e.g. campus computer labs) and using a web browser go to https://rs.whitman.edu/activate and follow the instructions.

Remember: Go slowly though the activation process, and read everything carefully. You will see your password only once for security reasons. If you go past it, clicking the back button will not display your password again. Your password is case sensitive and should be kept in a safe place where you can find it easily.
