The UCID is a single university-wide identifier, which, along with your UCID password, serves as your credentials for most computing services on and off-campus.  It is the key to your NJIT Campus Directory entry and will give you access to Highlander Pipeline, the campus portal.  The UCID serves as your login account (or username) for most systems, but some passwords are still maintained separately.  These differences are summarized in the Account Summary Table shown below.

All members of the NJIT community should create a UCID. Students cross-registering from Rutgers, UMDNJ, and ECC students who are enrolled in NJIT courses are eligible for a UCID as well.

When you create a UCID, you will also be given a default NJIT e-mail account. This e-mail system is called Mailhost. Your e-mail address will be in the form: yourUCID@njit.edu.  More information about Mailhost and how it applies to students, faculty, staff, and alumni can be found here.

You may create a UCID if you are:

• An accepted student.
• A new faculty or staff member, once your completed paperwork has been processed by the Office of Human Resources.
• A first-time adjunct faculty member having completed paperwork at the Office of Human Resources, may be authorized to self-create a UCID. If the adjunct faculty member cannot self-create a UCID, they must complete the Adjunct UCID Request Form.
• NJIT alumni can create a UCID by following these special instructions.
