University Credentials
What are my university credentials?
Your university credentials are the username / email address and password pair that provides secure access to several resources at the university, as well as a number of resources provided by the CU system. These services include email, the Web Login portal, VPN, wireless access, etc.
How do I get my university credentials?
All faculty, staff and students are automatically granted university credentials because of their relationship with the university. Other people affiliated with the university may request university credentials by completing the Sponsored User request form available at https://passport.ucdenver.edu.
Students who have declared their intent to enroll and have been assigned an email address can set up their password. Be sure to have your university ID number available to complete this step.
Faculty, staff and sponsored users should claim their account in order to start using your university credentials. This process is available at: https://myaccount.ucdenver.edu. You will need your Employee ID or Sponsored User Number, as well as other data about yourself.
Tip: This process can be done only once and cannot be used to reset a forgotten password. To reset your password, please see the section below.
