A uniqname is a campus-wide login user I.D., which you use to login to all University resources, including your University supplied email account and email address.  Accessing web resources will also require a password.  This password is known by many names (uniqname password, kerberos password, University password, ITCS password) but is essentially the password that is associated with your uniqname for login to all secure resources associated with the University of Michigan, including those specific to Ross.

Your uniqname login is managed by ITCS Accounts Office (764-8000).  Depending on how and when your account was created, our Computing Services staff may be able to assist you with login issues or can help you work with ITCS to correct the problem.  Please note you may need to resolve some issues in person at the Accounts Office in the Michigan Union.
 

Upon admission you will be sent a temporary University ID so you can begin taking advantage of many of the web resources offered exclusively at the Ross School of Business through the My iMpact web portal.

Once your enrollment deposit is received, you will be sent a confirmation with a One Time ID (OTID) and instructions.  You will need both your UM ID and this OTID to create your uniqname and set your University password.  Once this process is completed, you will have access to the full range of services offered in your Basic Computing Package through ITCS.

When selecting a password, use at least six characters with symbols and numbers and avoid anything that can easily be guessed, such as dictionary words, dates, family/pet names, etc.  Visit ITCS webpage for recommended guidelines in creating a secure password.

If you are returning to the University of Michigan, it is important to complete this process to reactivate the services associated with your existing uniqname.
