University Network ID - uNID
University Network ID (uNID) is a piece of information that uniquely identifies you on the University of Utah network for various computing services. Your uNID is created by substituting a lower case "u" for the first zero in your University ID. A University Network ID is also known as a uNID, username, login name or User ID. All students, faculty, and staff at the University of Utah receive an uNID.
Your uNID doesn't work alone. You'll have to create a secure password that works with it. You do this the first time you log into the Campus Information Services (CIS) via the U homepage.
To log in the first time, use your uNID and your default password: your birthday in mmddyy format. Follow the instructions to create two security questions for future identification (in case you forget your password) and to create your secure 8-character uNID password.
Your University Network ID with its corresponding password gives you access to the campus network and computer-related services (UIT services).
For more information, please visit UIT’s website or call UIT at 801-581-4000.
Campus Information Services - CIS
CIS is a central location on the university website where students, faculty, and staff can sign in once to access a wealth of resources: from Faculty Services (grades, class rosters, courses, etc.) to Payroll, Human Resources, Financial Systems, and more. When using CIS for the first time you will log in using your uNID and a default password.
You will be required to login using the Duo Two-Factor Authentication system. Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides an extra layer of security by requiring the user to log in with a username/password combo plus a second method of verifying the user’s identity. The second method is something the user has physical access to, like a cell phone or tablet. This ensures that even if a hacker manages to obtain a user’s login credentials, the information is useless without access to the user’s secondary device.
To add your device, go to the Duo Management Portal. If you would prefer not to use your personal device, you may purchase a token at the University of Utah Campus Store.

Campus Recreation Services
When class is out, when the workday is done, U need Campus Recreation. Campus Recreation provides everything needed for a healthy mind and body — from treadmills to river rafts, intramural sports to yoga classes. And they do it at locations across campus. They are here to help you get healthy and happy, with plenty of encouragement.
