Request an Account or Access
Many of the programs and services you'll need to use require approval for access. We've compiled a list of these resources so you
can easily find out how to request access.
UNI and Columbia Email - the University Network I. D. is
the first part of your Columbia email address and acts as your logon for a variety of resources. This includes
myColumbia, where you can view and manage payroll and benefit information.
If you already know your UNI, you can activate it and select a password at myUNI.
If you have not yet received your UNI, first search for it by your name at myUNI.
If you do not have a UNI, your Department Administrator (or other qualified person in your department) must request one for you via their access to Delegated Identity Administration within Peoplesoft (see below for Peoplesoft information). Please speak to your supervisor if you do not know who this person is. Often the person within a department who can post job listings has access to process UNIs.
Logon to a Department Computer - It's best to check with your supervisor or Department Administrator
first, since some CUMC departments have systems that are managed by their own IT groups.
If your computer is managed by CUMC IT, your supervisor can submit the
Domain Account request form online.
You must already have a Columbia UNI it order to receive a Domain Account.
Access to Network Drives - Your department can grant you access to any CUMC IT managed network drives via the
Domain Account request form as well.
Complete information including the drive letter and path is required when submitting the form.
