About

A Central Login Account [21] is a centralized identity that consists of a central login ID (username), password, and identifying information about a University member or group. Central login IDs and passwords are the credentials used for accessing most University online services.

Central Login Accounts for most University members are created automatically based on information provided from various identity sources, such as Registrarial Services (for students) and Human Resources (for staff and faculty).  Central Login Accounts for other role types, such as organizations and sponsored users, are created upon request.  For more information regarding obtaining or forfeiting a Central Login ID, see Understanding Your Username [22]. For more information regarding passwords and how to change or retrieve forgotten passwords, see Understanding Your Password [23].
 

Users can Change Your Password [24] at any time (as long as you know your old password). If you do not remember your password, contact the CCS Help Centre [25] . 

Subscribe to Password Reset [26] in order to be able to reset your password if you forget it.
