PirateNet is the gateway through which users access their e-mail, Canvas courses and the Banner administrative system where they can register for classes, access their grades, review and accept their financial aid package, view/pay their tuition, add money (Pirate's Gold) to their ID cards, update their personal information, access their academic transcripts, and other important University information.

1. To access PirateNet, visit [shu.edu](http://shu.edu) and select PirateNet in the header. To access PirateNet directly, go to [www.shu.edu/PirateNet](https://www.shu.edu/piratenet.cfm)
2. Login to PirateNet by entering your username and password.
  
  1. Your **username** is usually the first **SIX** letters of your last name and the first **TWO** letters of your first name. Last names with less than **SIX** letters will use full last name plus first letters of first name to make **EIGHT** letters.
    ***Example*****:** Sally Johnson: **johnsosa** **(all in lower case)**  
*(If last and first names combined have less than ****EIGHT**** letters use both last and first names which will result in less than ****EIGHT**** letters for your username.)*  
***Example:*** John Smith: **smithjoh** **(all in lower case)**
  2. Your default **password** depends on the length of the last name:
    1. Users with last name length of five characters and above will use the first four letters of their last name in CAPS, then the last six digits of their Seton Hall ID number, then four pound signs.
      ***Example***  
*ID: 12345678*  
*Name: John Smith*  
*Password: SMIT345678####*
    2. Users with last name length less than 4 characters will use the first two letters of last name in CAPS, then first two letters of first name, followed by last six digits of their Seton Hall ID number, then four pound signs.
      ***Example**** *  
*ID: 12345678*  
*Name: Ky Sims*  
*Password: SIKY345678####*
