- Opening a new Bilkent Account: If you need a BITS domain account you must visit the BITS Systems Room (B Bldg: Room 310) in person. The attendant at this desk will need to see your Bilkent ID card. Normally, you should be able to pick your new account and its password in a few minutes. BITS Domain accounts are usually used by the faculty, graduate students and administrative staff in any department. Science faculty (“Fen Domain”), Electrical Engineering (“EE Domain”), Computer Engineering Department (“CS Domain”) staff usually prefer accounts from their own domains. You should contact your departmental system administrator(s) to open a non-BITS domain account.
