UHV Student Accounts


  • Student accounts provide access to student email, on-site access to the computer labs, off-site access to the library databases and eSmart.

  • Student accounts are automatically created when a student applies, without students having to complete an account application.

  • Student accounts are not related online to PeopleSoft (PS), Enrollment Services (VIP) or WebCT. Each are separate and distinct accounts.

Usernames

The student account username is the student's seven-digit PS ID. The PS ID is assigned by the Admissions Office and is found on the student's admissions letter.

 
Passwords

New Student accounts are created with pre-expired passwords meaning the student must change the initial password to a new password before the account can be used.
 
The initial password will the be student’s birth date in the format of MMDDYYYY where:


MM is the month
DD is the day
YYYY is the year (all four digits)

Leading zeros are required for those months or days that are single digit.
 
Passwords must be at least eight characters long. Please see the Password Guidelines and Changing Your Password documentation.

 

A password lifetime is 160 days. That means that students are required to change their passwords every 160 days from the date of their last password change. Note: The system keeps a password history file. Students cannot re-use their previous nine passwords.


 
Example

John B. Smith has a PS ID of 1234567, and was born on March 4, 1981. His username would be 1234567. His initial password would be 03041981.
