Accounts
My Bethel Community Account
Your Bethel Community account, or BCA, is linked to your username and password. It allows you to log in to Bethel computers, your MyBethel account, Bethel email, and other important resources. You can make changes to your account using the Identity Access Management (IAM) tool.
Changing your Bethel email address
If you want to use a different email address, you can select an email alias for your account. This will not change your Bethel username.
Changing your Bethel password
When you change your Bethel password, it updates the password you use to access all Bethel systems.
If you have forgotten your password, you will need to recover or reset it.
Problems logging in

Group and shared mailboxes

Managing file server storage quota
If you see a message saying you don’t have enough space to save a file, you may have reached your storage limit in Bethel’s central file storage system.
Banner and Argos
Some employees use Banner accounts to access Bethel information. These accounts are provided by the Enterprise and Application Systems group. If you need a Banner or Argos account, your supervisor must submit a request form.

You can access:
- Banner’s administration pages or Self-Service Banner
- Traditional Argos or, if your work group uses it, the Argos web viewer

For off-campus access, connect through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on Mac or Windows.
