Changing Your Password

You should always change the password for your email account by using the myPassword web site: https://mypassword.cumc.columbia.edu.

IMPORTANT! Changing your CUIMC email password also changes it for your MC account, used to log in to a work computer, network drives, and Pharos student printing.  It will not change the password for your Columbia UNI account. See About MC, CUIMC Email, and UNI Accounts for details.
