What is a Uniqname?

Your UNIQNAME (pronounced "unique name") is a personal identifier that is required for using computing services across the U-M campuses.  You must have a UNIQNAME in order to use the computers on campus, to check your email, to access the library online or to dial in from home.  You do not need a UNIQNAME to use SIS. 

Students

UNIQNAME’s are assigned to new students once they are admitted. A New Student’s “Campus Computer Account” is also created upon the student’s admission into the University. New students may activate their Campus Computer Account by following these directions:

• Login to SIS by visiting www.umflint.edu/sis
• Click on Personal Information
• Click on Campus Computer Account
• Enter a new password (for information on password restrictions please visit: http://www.umflint.edu/its/policies.htm#password )
• Confirm new password
• Click on Set password button

Once you set your initial password, your UNIQNAME and your University email account information is displayed within SIS. Once you have activated your Campus Computer Account, you may begin using the computers on campus; however, dial-up service is not available for new students until the first day of the semester you are registered for.

As a student you may use your Uniqname to access your email online, or login to the computers in the computer labs, to access the library and to dial in from home.

Faculty/Staff members

UNIQNAME’s are assigned to new faculty/staff members once they fill out an access request form at the beginning of their employment with the University. If you are a new employee and would like to obtain your Uniqname you may fill out an access request form by visiting the following website: http://www.umflint.edu/its/lan.htm . Once your account and Uniqname are created, a designated individual in your department will be notified with the relevant information. You may receive your account information from them.

As a faculty/staff you may use your Uniqname to access your email online, or login to the computers on campus, to access the library, to dial in from home, and to view you personal information on Wolverine access.
