Avoid email account lockout, change your password today!

Use signUM’s convenient and quick self-service option

January 14, 2020 — 

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:   

  • Change your password and re-accept the usage agreement at the same time. This way you have to repeat the process only once every 365 days.
  • Add this step to your start of term to-do list and never lose access to your UM accounts again.

    My email is locked and I have changed the password and accepted the new terms TWICE already. It is crucial for me to have access to my school email during these times. Please get back to me on this asap.

    My email is locked and I can’t log in to use it to send emails or use umlearn, I sent an email to regiter but haven’t gotten a reply. I can’t call all the Canadian phone numbers because I am not in Canada but in China. I missed the exam and submitted the assignment because I couldn’t login to umlearn, and I didn’t get a reply to the email I sent to my professor from my private email.
