If you have two SPIRE accounts (a.k.a. roles), SPIRE will log you on as an instructor/staff member by default when you use your NetID. To change this default, update your preferences with a preferred and alternate role.

  1. Log on to SPIRE (it does not matter which role you choose).
  2. Select the Profile tile.
  3. Under the Access & Privacy heading, select the Preferred SPIRE Role page. The Preferred SPIRE Role page opens, displaying your current role (i.e., the SPIRE account to which you logged on.)
  4. Select Student or Instructor/Staff as your preferred role, then click Save Preference
    • Once you choose a preferred role, SPIRE automatically logs you on to this preferred role when you use your NetID and password.
    • To log on to your other SPIRE account, use your NetID and select the Use alternate role check box on the SPIRE Logon page.
