PennKey


Accounts (Action Required)

  • You must have an active  PennKey and Wharton accounts before you configure any of the services listed below.
  • After creating your PennKey, we strongly recommend enrolling in Self-Service Password Recovery (SSPR). If you do not enroll, it will be very difficult to reset your password if you ever forget it.
  • Access to Wharton services is granted gradually after your PennKey and Wharton accounts are created. While some services can take up to 72 hours to propagate access.
