The following tutorials and walkthroughs cover several common information technology tasks at Bethany. If you need assistance, please contact the IT Helpdesk.
Every Bethany student, faculty member, and staff member receives a Bethany username and password for accessing Bethany Gmail, MyBLC, and lab computers. If you have forgotten your password, or never received it, visit the IT Office (Meyer Hall 203) in person during normal business hours to receive a new password. Please bring along a photo ID such as your Bethany ID or a driver’s license to confirm your identity when receiving a new password.
The IT Office cannot reset passwords over the phone, via email, via instant message, or by text message! Additionally, you must come in person to reset your password – due to federal privacy regulations, you cannot send your parents, spouse, siblings, roommates, or friends to reset your password for you.
If you already know your Bethany password and wish to change it, go to this web address:
http://www.carolinainternationalschool.org/changepassword
You will then arrive at Bethany’s password reset page:
In the “Account” field, enter your Bethany username. In the “Old Password” field, type your old password. Enter your new password in the “New Password” field and again in the “Confirm new password” field, and then click OK.
Note that clicking the Reset button merely clears the fields and allows you to start over if you made a typographical error.
Note that all Bethany passwords must adhere to the following guidelines:
-The password must be at least eight characters long.
-The password may not be identical to any of your old passwords.
-The password may not contain your first or last name.
-The password must include at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, and one numeral or punctuation mark.
Once you have entered a password that meets these requirements and click the OK button, your password will be reset.
