Setting up a PSU Computer Account (Odin)

You can get access to e-mail, Blackboard, library resources, and other resources with your PSU Computer account (or Odin account.) If you are a student who is registered for at least one credit or a newly hired staff or faculty, you can get a Odin account via the following method:

  1. Call the Help Desk at 503.725.4357. They will give you a temporary password for account creation.
  2. Go to https://oam.pdx.edu
  3. Enter your PSU ID number. PSU ID #'s are located on your PSU ID card or can be found in your PSU Information System account. Use the temporary password given to you by the Help Desk.
  4. Follow the on screen step-by-step instructions (tutorial) to create your account and change your password. 
  5. The account may take up to 24 hours to sychronize to all systems.
  6. Odin accounts can be used to access Blackboard, MyPSU, email, wifi, Banweb and logging onto computer labs.

If you are unsure if you qualify for an Odin account or if you have questions about the process, please: Contact the USS Helpdesk.
