Accounts

Students at EPITA are given two kind of accounts: one is related with their status as a IONIS student (Bocal account), and another one is linked to EPITA (Forge account).

The IONIS account is created at the beginning of the scholarship, allowing students to:

You can access this account with your @epita.fr email address.

Your IONIS password cannot be changed manually but it can be regenerated on the IONIS intranet by doing a password recovery (you have to logout from the page first).

EPITA​

Every EPITA student is given a Forge account. It serves purposes such as:

  • UNIX sessions on PXE
  • UNIX exams (SPÉ/ING)
  • Forge's intranet
  • Moodle
  • Some workshops (THLR, algorithms, etc...)

You access this account using your EPITA login which is usually the first part of your email address, before @epita.fr.
