Identity Management Maintenance
May 20-23rd, 2025
As part of ongoing efforts to improve user experience and enhance IT security, the Identity Management team will be migrating a key system to the cloud from May 20 to 23. There is no impact expected for existing university users, though new student and employee accounts assigned during this time will be created after this maintenance window. ISS and OIT are working with multiple departments and vendors campuswide to implement this migration quickly and effectively. Please contact the OIT Service Desk at 303-724-4357 if you encounter any issues.

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 required university credentials. Visit our Different Account Types page to learn which is the best account to request.
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 your account first to start using your university credentials. 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 your password.
