The PurplePass is a single sign-on system that allows Niagara University students to use one username and password among several online systems and services. All current NU students will have a PurplePass created for them. Please refer to the FAQ below for more information.

The PurplePass Account Policy can be found here.

How do I get my PurplePass?

All Niagara University students will have a PurplePass automatically generated for them. You don't have to go anywhere for it.

What is my username?

Your username is s + your 7 digit student number. For example, if your student number is 106848, your username would be s0106848.

What is my password?

Nu +Day of Birth + last four digits of Social Security Number. If I was born on "June 10" and the last four digits of my Social security number are "3344", my defaulted password will be "Nu103344". Students are strongly encouraged to change their passwords once they’ve logged in for the first time.

Alternately, if we do not have the required information on file for you to create the default password, an alternate password is used. This is 'Nu', followed by the first 2 letters of your last name, followed by the last 4 digits of your student number.

This is your initial password, and it should be changed to something different.

What if I forget my password?

You can have it reset by visiting the Password Reset page. If you do not have a social security number on file with us, you will have to contact the help desk in St. Vincen't Hall. Passwords are reset to the default value, shown above on this page.
