Activating your UNI is one of the most important steps you need to take. Your UNI (University Network ID) is the log-in name and password you will use to access many online services at Columbia. Your UNI is also the first part of your official Columbia email address. Once you have successfully activated your UNI, you will be able to access Columbia's secure online applications, including Student Services Online (SSOL), CourseWorks, online library resources, and much more.
To activate your UNI, visit http://uni.columbia.edu/ and select "Activate UNI or Email." Then follow the on-screen instructions. For help activating your UNI, check out the CUIT help page.
If you wish to change you email handle (ex. From your [email protected] to your [email protected]) see instructions below:
- Visit Manage My UNI.
- Click the Email Alias icon.
You can also visit Manage My UNI and click Change Your Published Email Address to indicate that you want your email alias displayed in Columbia's online directory and be used as your sending address in LionMail. You may also use this page to change your address back to the [email protected] format in the online directory.
