UCS Account Activation

All students, faculty, and staff are permitted to use the University's official academic computing system. Activation of a UCS account establishes access to ULink, University email, University Network Registration (Netreg) UCS workstations, University Wireless Information Network (UWIN) and computing applications, remote network dialup (STEP-UP), and the ability to access courses online via Moodle.

UCS accounts are activated and supported by the University's Help Desk located in Stephens Hall. Individuals requesting an account or a password change must appear in person and provide some form of photo identification (University ID, Driver's License, Passport, etc.).

UCS account activation is an overnight process. The UCS CLID (username) and password issued to you may be used after 8:00 A.M. the following day. The Help Desk provides instruction in the use of UCS accounts through user instruction and self-help computing guides. The UCS CLID (username) is generated by the University's administrative database and will not change. The CLID also serves as your email address (i.e. abc1234@louisiana.edu).

Users may select to create an email alias. Inquire at the Help Desk for assistance in setting mailbox options. UCS passwords may also be changed by logging into your account at a UCS workstation and executing the passwd command. Instructions for changing passwords are available on the UCS Initial Activation Handout (generated with your CLID and password).
