Here is an explanation of each system and how you log into that particular one.

| The My Shepherd system allows you to do many tasks, depending on whether you are student or an employee. Students use My Shepherd to register for classes, check grades, view an unofficial transcript, check their financial aid, and other student services. Faculty can enter grades, access advisees records, display and print class rosters, and other tasks. Certain staff members may view departmental budgets. My Shepherd links to RAIL (Remote Access Information Line) for all members of the campus community to retrieve their Shepherd ID (SID) and username, and to change their computer password. | Email is used for all Shepherd University communications. You are assigned a unique email address. The format of that address is different for students compared to employees. If you are a student, you log into your email with your username which ends in a number and the email domain. Most employees do not have numbers at the end of their usernames, but a few do. Here are some examples of each.
