Different computer systems and services at Columbia require different
access IDs and passwords, which can be
confusing. Here is an overview of the major
ones that you may encounter when using CUIT
systems and services. If you need assistance
with any ID or password, call the Computing
Help Desk at 212-854-1919.
- UNI (University Network ID)
The UNI is the first key to
accessing many computer services and resources
at Columbia. Each student, faculty member, and
administrator is assigned one automatically.
Note: for some people, the UNI and its
password may also be the same as their e-mail
address and password.
- Central Server ID
The Central Server ID (called
"Username" when you log in to Central) is the
key to accessing Central services. Usually
your Central Username is the same as your UNI
and it is set up for you when you first
subscribe to the Central Server.
- Outlook/Exchange Mail/Calendar
Usually the
Outlook/Exchange ID is the same as your
Central Username and UNI. The Outlook password
does not expire. If you want to change it, go
to WebOutlook.
- Administrative Applications IDs - Assigned by either CUIT
or the departmental data custodian, and
authorized by each system'ss departmental
data custodian, these IDs are used to
access certain central University
information systems. These systems are:
Accounts Payable (APS), Financial (FAS),
Financial Front End (FFE), Labor (LDS),
Human Resources Management (HRMS),
Purchasing (CAPS), Student Information
(SIS) and Sponsored Projects Tracking for
OPG/GC (SPOTS).
- Application-specific ID - Assigned and authorized by the
data custodian of each
application. Even though you have
logged on to the application via the
CUIT Administrative Application Logon
Screen, some applications also require
their own internal IDs and passwords
(e.g., FAS), which are entered at the
initial application screen. These IDs
and passwords are supplied with your
CUIT Administrative ID and password
notification.
- ID for desktop (client/server or Web) applications -
Assigned and authorized by the data
custodian of each application. You log
onto these applications directly,
without going through the CUIT
Administrative Application Logon
Screen. These applications include
AP/CAR, FFE, and the Data
Warehouse. Usually these IDs are the
same as your UNI.
- Local LAN ID - assigned by your departmental LAN
administrator.
