Iscte provides its employees with a wide range of resources.
Iscte Account
SIIC assigns user accounts to all Iscte employees. The account is personal and non-transferable.
For instance, the student Xisto Ximenes has the following credentials:
Username: xxnes@iscte-iul.pt
Email address: Xisto_Ximenes@iscte-iul.pt
Password: Password.2020
The iscte account password must comply with the following requirements:
- Must be at least 10 characters long.
- You should not reuse an old password.
- It must not contain your username (excluding the @iscte-iul.pt suffix) or any of its used names, excluding particles that are less than three characters long.
- It should not contain characters considered illegal (;, , , ‘, ‘, %, *, blank).
- It must contain characters from at least three of the following categories:
- Capitals not accented (‘A’ to ‘Z’).
- Lowercase not accented (‘a’ to ‘z’).
- Decimal digits (‘0’ to ‘9’).
- Non-alphanumeric characters (!, #, &, etc.).
- Passwords must be confidential.
- Do not store passwords on visible papers or locations.
- Regularly change your password even on systems that don’t require you to do so.
- Do not automatically record on systems (e.g. browsers).
- Do not use the same passwords in an academic context and in a personal context.
- To create a secure password think of an easy-to-remember phrase and then define a method to turn that phrase into a password.
For instance:
Phrase: how to set a secure password in 2020!
Method: first letter of each word, third word in letters, use only the last two digits of numbers and keep special characters.
Password: htSETaspi20! (Do not use this example).
All employees are entitled to an Iscte ID Card.
At the beginning of your employment at Iscte, the “Unidade de Recursos Humanos” (Human Resources Unit), will issue a duly activated provisional card to the employee.
In other situations, cards are activated in the Helpdesk Room (Edifício II, floor 7, room C7.04).
Non-bank card – It is raised in the Human Resources Unit (Sedas Nunes Building, Atrium 1W, room 1W01).
Bank card – It is picked up at any CGD agency or delivered to the owner’s address.
Definitive cards can be activated by the holder or at the Helpdesk Room (Edifício II, floor 7, room C7.04).
