Dear New Student,
Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania. To log in to many critical electronic services at the University, you will need to select a username known as a "PennKey" and create a password to protect it.
At the bottom of this sheet you will find your 7-character PennKey Setup Code, required to create your PennKey and password. We recommend that you create your PennKey and password as soon as possible. Your Setup Code will expire 60 days after the date of this letter.
How to create and test your PennKey
- Navigate to the PennKey home page: http://www.upenn.edu/computing/pennkey/.
- On this page, click the Quick Link "Register a new PennKey".
- On the login screen, enter your PennKey Setup Code, the last four digits of your 9-digit U.S. Social Security Number (if you have no U.S. Social Security Number, enter the last four digits of your Penn-assigned 9-digit identifier), and your birth date.
- Follow the prompts to create your PennKey and password. Do not share this password.
- Return to the PennKey home page and test your PennKey and password by clicking on the Quick Link "Test your PennKey" and following the prompts.
If you need assistance or further information, send email to pennkey@isc.upenn.edu or visit http://www.upenn.edu/computing/pennkey/. To request a new Setup Code (only needed if your code has expired), call 215-746-7539 or 1-866-406-7539 (toll-free number for use from U.S. locations outside the Philadelphia area, from Canada, and from the U.S. Virgin Islands), or visit the student PennKey Administration Station on campus at 221 Franklin Building.

PennKey Setup Code and Penn ID - What they are and when to use them:
PennKey Setup Code . This is a 7-character code you need in order to set up your PennKey, using the procedure above. After step 4, please discard the code - you will not use it again. Your PennKey uniquely identifies you, and is used in conjunction with your PennKey password to establish your identity to many electronic resources.
Penn ID . This 8-digit number is a persistent, unique identifier for you at Penn. It will be used in place of a Social Security Number whenever possible - please keep track of it. There is no password associated
with your Penn ID.
