I forgot my password. What can I do?

    If you do not remember your old password, or you did not create security questions, your password can be changed at 3 different locations on campus:
  • Help Desk (M-F 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
  • Columbine Hall Computer Lab (M-F 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
  • Kraemer Family Library Computer Lab (See Library Hours) http://www.uccs.edu/~library/info/hours.html

    • Come to one of these locations with your Student ID and we can help you reset your password.


I know my password. Why can't I login?

    If you are able to login to your student e-mail but unable to login to other UCCS systems, it is likely that your password is expired or set as a default. Passwords expire every 90 days and must be changed in order to maintain access to UCCS systems.
  • To update your password, go to the UCCS Username Assistance page.
  • Click on Password Change to update your password.

What is the UCCS Default Password?

    New staff, faculty, and students are set to Mmm####N where:
  • Mmm = birthmonth (e.g. January = Jan, February = Feb)
  • #### = last 4 digits of student ID number (employee ID number for staff and faculty)
  • N = first initial of last name

    • *Use UPPER and lower case where indicated.
