Procedures for Getting a Uniqname: OTIDs

The ITS Accounts Office can assist with computing accounts, subscriptions, uniqnames, passwords, and more.

OTIDs are the One-Time Identifiers that new students and employees use to create their uniqnames. MCommunity generates the OTIDs and sends them to incoming Ann Arbor students and to incoming staff hired through eMploy. OTIDs are 10-characters long. Students and staff enter their OTID, along with other information, on a website that lets them create their own uniqname and UMICH Kerberos password.

If you are having trouble getting an OTID (One Time Identifier) or using an OTID to create your uniqname, you can contact the consultants at 764-HELP (734-764-4357, Option 1) or online.consulting@umich.edu for assistance.
