Change UCID Password

Introduction

This process will change the password of your University Computing ID (UCID), but not the password of other computer accounts associated with your UCID. For best results you should use this procedure instead of the current, so that all all your passwords are changed at the same time.

This process changes the password used to access the following systems and services:

General access:

VPN access for off-campus access
Mailhost e-mail account
NJIT Mailhost and Webmail (primarly for students but available for faculty/staff)
NJIT Campus directory listing

Student access:

All of "general access" above
Highlander Pipeline and the NJIT Web for Students Portal

Faculty/Staff access:

All of "general access" above
Highlander Pipeline and the NJIT Web for Faculty Portal and Web for Employees Portal

Alumni access:

Highlander Pipeline and the Alumni Portal
Alumni e-mail account

This process assumes you already have a UCID and know the current password. If you do not know your UCID password, please use this procedure instead of the current to reset your password.

Step 1 of 2: Initiate password change

Please enter UCID and passwords as described below. Your new password must be different than your old password.
