Welcome to the University of Maryland!
Before being able to access many online resources at the University, you must
establish your online identifier, your Directory ID, and an associated
password.
Here are the steps to follow in order to establish your ID and Password:
- Identity Proofing - We do not, at this time, require in-person identity
verification, so, as an alternative, you must provide several facts
that uniquely identify you. This information includes:
- a portion of your Social Security Number,
- your surname (Last name),
- your birth date, and
- a phone number that you we have on file for you.
- Once we have verified your identity, you may select your Directory ID. An
initial ID has been established that is based on your name. You may keep this
pre-assigned ID or choose a different ID. Please, carefully consider your
choice because this ID also defines your e-mail address and login IDs at the
university.
- In order to Accept your ID, either the pre-assigned one or the one
you choose, you must review and agree to the Policy on the Acceptable Use of Information
Technology Resources, which apply to all members of the university community.
- Once you have established your Directory ID, you will be asked to establish your
initial password to the system.
- Next, you will need to provide answers to several security questions. If you forget
your password, your responses to these security questions may be used to establish a new password.
- Finally, you will be able to Activate your OIT supported accounts,
including your e-mail account.
To begin this process start here and you will automatically be
taken through the entire process.
