Multi-factor authentication now required on key Drake systems

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now required for students, faculty, and staff when they log into key Drake systems including myDrake, Self Service, Blackboard, Banner, and web-based versions of Microsoft products. This means you will be prompted to verify your identity using a separate device when logging in. There are three verification methods available:

  1. The Microsoft Authenticator mobile app (on a smartphone or tablet)
  2. One-time password code sent via text to your mobile phone
  3. Answering a call from Microsoft (on cell, landline or office extension)

Instructions on these methods are linked below:

Using multi-factor authentication is the best way to protect campus accounts and data. If you encounter any problems while setting up MFA, please submit a Multifactor Authentication Issue or contact the Support Center at 515-271-3001. Additional information and troubleshooting tips are available at MFA Project FAQ.

More updates coming to Self Service tomorrow

Drake is continuing to roll out changes as part of the project to update the MyDUSIS system to Self Service. The next round of updates will be coming tomorrow and focus on our Student and Faculty pages. Here are the changes to expect:

On myDrake:

  • The MyDUSIS link in the Commonly Used Apps section of myDrake will change to read Self Service and link to a new landing page (see navigation guide linked below)
  • The My Information link will also be removed from the Commonly Used Apps section (it will still be in the HR section for faculty/staff and the My Drake Profile section for students)
  • Other MyDUSIS-related links will be renamed or removed as Self Service has prominent links to access key functions

In Self Service:

Please remember multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now required for accessing all Self Service screens. Learn more about MFA at Multi-factor Authentication Project (FAQ).
