Avoid email account lockout, change your password today!

If you are having trouble logging in to your UM network account, it may be time to change your password and re-accept the usage agreement.

To ensure the security of our network, all users must change their passwords and re-accept the usage agreement every 365 days.

Changing your password is easy to do with the self-service option. The following tips make it easier:
