Reset Your Password

Marquette University uses a registered phone number or secondary email address to reset forgotten or expired passwords.

This information is for users with a phone number or secondary email address set up for password recovery. If you have not set up one of these recovery methods, please call the IT Services Help Desk at (414) 288-7799 to reset your password.

Go to https://reset.mu.edu/ (This link opens in a new browser tab or window.)

You are prompted for your "User ID"; enter your Marquette email address in the "User ID" field.

Important: Your Marquette email address must contain marquette.edu. The shorter mu.edu version of your email address will not work.

After you enter your Marquette email address, the top image will switch from Microsoft to the Marquette University logo.

Now enter the characters in the picture (or the words in the audio). Click or tap Next.
The "Why are you having trouble signing in?" page appears. Keep "I forgot my password" selected and click or tap Next.
If you have an authentication email set up, select Email my alternate email and click or tap Email.

You are sent an email message with a verification code to your authentication email. Check your secondary email inbox and note the multi-digit code. Enter the code in the text field provided on the web page and click or tap Next.

If authentication was successful, skip to Step 5.
If you have an authentication phone set up, choose either Text my mobile phone or Call my mobile phone.

For "Text my mobile phone":
Enter the authentication phone number and click or tap Text.

You will receive a Microsoft verification text with a multi-digit code. Enter that code in the text field provided on the web page and click or tap Next.

For "Call my mobile phone":
Enter the authentication phone number and click or tap Call.

You will receive an automated call. Press the pound key (the # symbol) to continue.
If your authentication was successful, you will be prompted to choose your new password. Please note:
- Your new password must be 16 characters or longer.
- It must include three of the following:

- You may not use the same password as either of your last 12 passwords.
Enter your new password then re-enter your new password. Click Finish.
The web page indicates if the password reset was successful.

Note that a successful password reset takes a few minutes to finalize.

If you did not successfully reset your password, review the password requirements above then retry your password reset.
If the reset was successful, close the browser window. Login with your new password to Marquette University systems, such as the CheckMarq student information system or your Marquette email.
