Your A-B Tech username and password are used to log into your email account, campus computers, Moodle, WebAdvisor, and more.
Username
Unless you have been told otherwise, your A-B Tech username is your first name, middle initial, and last name (with no spaces). Example: janehdoe

Your email address is your username followed by @students.abtech.edu. Example: janehdoe@students.abtech.edu
