What is UMU-id and why do I need it?
As a student or employee, you need an UMU-id to be able to log into most of the University’s systems and services, such as Canvas, Intranet and administrative systems.
- As a student, you will receive your UMU-id automatically when you are admitted to one of our courses.
- Employees receive your UMU-id when you are entered into the personnel system.
Your UMU-id consists of a username and a password. The username consists of 8 characters in a combination of letters and numbers. The letters are based on your first and last name while the numbers are a serial number.
Password to your UMU-id is something you set yourself. A password must be between 16-50 characters long and must contain 3 of the following 4 parameters: Capital letters, small letters, numbers, special characters (like * # ! & )
You use UMU-id to log in to most of the university’s central IT systems.
