Accessing your portal

Everything you need to know about signing into the Engineering Outreach portal and keeping your credentials current.

The portal uses a credential set issued to you during program registration. Your username is typically the same as your University of Idaho NetID, though your portal password is managed separately from your university-wide account.

Signing in

Navigate to eo.uidaho.edu/portal.
Enter the username and password provided by your program advisor.
Optional: check Keep me signed in on this device for faster access from a personal machine.

Note: There is no self-service registration. If you are a new student and have not yet received credentials, reach out to your program advisor — we provision accounts manually to confirm enrollment.

Troubleshooting failed sign-ins

If your credentials are rejected, the portal will display a generic error. This is intentional — we don't indicate whether a username exists. Common causes:

Password was recently reset and your browser cached the old one.
Your enrollment status lapsed between terms. Re-enrollment re-activates access.
Caps Lock is on. (Surprisingly common.)

Browser theming (Omarchy users)

The portal reads your Chromium-exposed OS accent color and will automatically match your active Omarchy theme. To force a specific theme, use the picker in the bottom-right:

# Your active theme is written by Omarchy at:
~/.config/omarchy/current/theme.name

# The portal fetches the matching colors.toml at:
github.com/<author>/omarchy-<theme>-theme/blob/main/colors.toml

Session length

Sessions last 30 days with Keep me signed in enabled, 2 hours without. You can end all sessions from Account Settings.
