Sakai

Sakai is Ithaca College's new online collaboration system allowing for easy access and storage of course-related and project related materials. Sakai will be replacing Blackboard by Fall 2012. All faculty, staff and students have access to Sakai.

Sakai uses the Ithaca College Netpass username and password for authentication faculty, staff and students.

  • New Faculty: After activating the Netpass account, new faculty must wait overnight before accessing Sakai. 
  • Adjunct Faculty: Adjunct faculty access is dependent on the contract start date. Check with Human Resources to verify this date.
  • New Students: New students must activate their Netpass account and be registered for courses.
  • FERPA Protection: Students who request FERPA protection will not automatically be able to access Sakai using their Netpass username and password. FERPA-protected students have the option to either waive the FERPA-protected status and use their Netpass username and password or have a unique account created. If a student chooses to have a unique account created, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the faculty member of this choice. FERPA students should contact the ITS Helpdesk for more information.
  • New Staff: Once a new staff member has activate the Netpass account and the overnight feeds have run, new staff can access Sakai and create project sites.
