Yes, if new employees are brand new to Tech, they will need to activate their account at http://ams.atu.edu; however, if they have ever been a student or employee in the past, their account may already be activated. In this case, their supervisor will receive an email with their username . Once they receive the username, they will need to go to http://ams.atu.edu and change their password there.
 
 Please choose one of the two new employee groups below and follow the procedure to activate your account.
 

Group 1: You were a Tech student or employee BEFORE.

  • Go to http://ams.atu.edu.
  • Click on the "Change Password" link if you remember your old password, or on the "Forgot Password" link if you no longer remember your password.
  • The first part of each process differs, but after successfully beginning the process, become the same as detailed below.



    Change Password
  • Type in the username and password that you have previously used at ATU.

         

  • Check the "I'm not a robot" box and click on the "Submit" button.
