Students, faculty, and staff receive a computer account, called a netID, to access most technology resources on campus. See the information below to find
out when you get your account and what you access with it.

Username and Password -- How do I get it?
Services -- What do I access with it?
Applicants
Soon after you submit an application to UBalt, you will be sent an e-mail with instructions
to obtain a netID and create a password. With this account information, you will log
on to the MyUBalt Portal to check your application status and, when applicable, accept your admission and
register for classes.
Students
After you matriculate, your netID is used to access network services, including:
Alumni and Former Students
Whether you graduate from UBalt or leave without a diploma, you have access to the
MyUBalt Portal for four semesters after your last date of enrollment. Network services
access (e-mail, labs, etc.) is also maintained for two semesters after your last date
of enrollment. Visit the Student Account Expiration and Deletion standards for more details. (Note: Certain library privileges, including research database access, expire before two semesters after your last date of enrollment.)
Former students who attended UBalt prior to Fall 2003 did not have MyUB accounts and, therefore, will not have access to MyUBalt. You can request transcripts and other student records through the Office of Records and Registration.
A netID is created for employees of UBalt during the hiring process. Services are available during the time of employment. Once an employee leaves UBalt, all computer access is terminated. Exceptions may be requested only by the individual’s Dean or, for non-academic staff, a department head.
Use your netID to access:
Note: Staff and faculty account profiles are not configured to allow full use of computer labs, namely access to the printers. You are encouraged to use departmental printers. If access to computer lab printers is required, please contact the OTS Call Center for details. Changing your account to print in the labs may take 2-5 business days.
New Applicants
An e-mail is sent to you with instructions for obtaining your netID. Once you have
your netID, you will then set a password. Returning students or individuals who previously
applied to UBalt may not receive a letter. Go to https://mypw.ubalt.edu to look up your netID and reset the password.
Faculty and Staff
A letter is sent to your department soon after the hiring process is completed. This
may occur after your first day on campus but in most cases it will happen sooner.
The letter shows your netID and e-mail address. Before using the password, you need
to visit https://mypw.ubalt.edu to create a password.
Usernames (netIDs) are 6-8 characters long. New accounts start with the letters "ID" and are followed by 6 characters. Formats used in the past include UBalt##X##, UBTU##XX##, and NTXXXXXX. Usernames cannot be changed and remain the same regardless of your affiliation with UBalt. E-mail addresses can be changed if you have changed your legal name. Any one requesting an e-mail address change must first officially change their name with the University. Students do so through the Records office. Faculty and staff contact the Office of Human Resources.
The following services are accessed using your netID and password. An overview of each service is listed.
All UBalt students, faculty, and staff receive a UBalt e-mail/Office 365 account. You are encouraged to monitor your account regularly for important announcements. E-mail can be accessed through the MyUBalt Portal, using Outlook as an Exchange client on your computer or mobile device.
Information on Microsoft Office 365 can be found at Office 365.
