CSE account

If you are enrolled in a CSE course, a CSE account will be created for you. This account will give you login access to CSE computers and secured CSE websites.

Your account will be created at least one week before the start of session and will continue to exist until such time as you are not enrolled in any CSE course or program.

You can activate your new account by following the instructions below.
