First Time Users When using the Campus Information System for the first time you will log in using your uNID and a default password uNID: Your uNID is created by substituting a "u" for the first zero in your student ID. For more information about your uNID, please see the University IT uNID & Password page. Password: The first time you sign in, you will use your default password which is your birthdate in the format mmddyy or mmdd. If the 6 digit format does not work, try the 4 digit format. As soon as you enter your password and click the "Go" button, you should see the "Change Password" screen. Your password must be at least 8 characters or more. Your new password may not match the first 8 characters of your previous 6 passwords. For security purposes, your password is required to have three of these four elements in the first 8 characters: a number a symbol, such as $, &, @, %, _, * a lowercase letter a capital letter Your password may not contain slashes (/). A good way to create a strong password is to think of a sentence that will be easy for YOU to remember -- but hard for others to guess. Here are some examples: I spent 2 weeks at Laguna Beach               Is2wk@LB I'm 100% Californian                                 100%Cal! My three brothers are Dan, Alan & Jason    3Bro=DAJ Security Guidelines: Do NOT include these items in your password: A date or combination of characters that look like a date, such as birthdays or anniversaries Personal information such as name or Social Security Number License plate number or a combination of characters resembling a plate number Repeated patterns: ababab, 123123 Reversed patterns: abcccba, 987654 Keyboard sequences: asdfasdf, ;lk;lk A function key (Sun-style fn keys) . Why So Complex? A strong password keeps others from accessing your personal data and safeguards the information you may be entrusted to protect.
