To setup your account, please visit one.ou.edu first using a friends computer, the OUGuest wifi network, or one of OU IT’s 800+ lab computers. You will need your OUNet ID. Your OUNet ID consists of the first 4 letters of your last name (in lowercase) + a series of 4 numbers. To retrieve your OU Net ID please visit one.ou.edu: If your last name has four or fewer letters, your OU Net ID contains your entire last name in lowercase. If have difficulty setting up your account, please call 405-325-HELP (4357).
Following account activation, your OUNet ID acts as your username for accessing all online services, such as e-mail, enrollment and grades, course materials, computer labs, or OU Libraries resources (opens new window).
