Guidance Page for new graduate students and third-year transfer students in 2026

Introduction

Our university has been promoting BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) since 2013 school year. Students are expected to bring their own laptop PCs and use university primary e-mail, applications, and services necessary for classes/courses with Kyushu University wireless LAN, also Microsoft Office software such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and so on. Here we provide the important information and links for activating SSO-KID (User Account), and setting up university Wi-Fi, e-mail, Office software to your laptop PC.

Campus IT Setup Guide

1. Activation of SSO-KID

You have to use your own account called “SSO-KID” and its password for Kyushu University Information Services. Before setting up Kyushu University wireless LAN, e-mail, Office software, and applications, you are expected to activate your own SSO-KID account by yourself.

  • If you entered graduate school directly after you graduated from Kyushu University, you can use the same SSO-KID and password that you used in undergraduate school, and do not have to activate SSO-KID.

Note that SSO-KID and its password should be used strictly only by the authentic owner. Please pay serious attention to keep your own SSO-KID and password confidential against others.

Activation of your SSO-KID

For other information on SSO-KID, see Kyushu University SSO portal.
