STEP 3. Enter full DBU email username and click Next. See example below:
Username is your full DBU email. For example, DBU username: jdoe4567@mail.dbu.edu
Password is the same password that you type to access your DBU email. If you need to reset your password, visit password.dbu.edu or call IT at 214-333-5500.
STEP 4. Enter your password and click Sign in. If are prompted to verify your account, you may choose to have a code texted to your phone or an automated call.
