Password Management for Students

To login to the University Portal and student workstations in libraries and Digital Services supported IT labs, you will need a username and password.

Reset your Network Password

Self Service Password Reset

Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) enables Students to securely change their University network password 24/7 without the need to contact the Digital Services IT Service Desk.

Password Kiosks

Dedicated PCs, known as Password Kiosks, are located within the Library on each campus. Password Kiosks will allow you to:

• retrieve your initial network password via the Banner system
• use self-service password reset to change your network password if forgotten
• Update your Multi-Factor Authentication verification (MFA) methods in the security information tab of your Office 365 Account. This should be done if you are getting a new mobile phone number, before you lose access to the old one.

When changing your password, choose a password with a minimum of 12 characters: that includes 3 out of the four categories below.

1. Upper Case
2. Lower Case
3. Digit
4. Special Character

If you are unable to retrieve your details from Banner, reset your password or have difficulty updating your MFA authentication methods, please contact the Digital Services IT Service Desk giving a description of your issue, a screenshot of any error message and quoting your:

• Student ID
• Ulster University email address
• Date of Birth
• Contact Number.
