• UCID stands for University Computing ID
• Your UCID and UCID password are used to access many systems here at NJIT, including Highlander Pipeline, Mailhost e-mail, WebCT, and Campus Directory.
• Your UCID username is used to access most other systems here at NJIT, including Highlander AFS, NJITDM, ADM e-mail, and ALPHA.
  Note that your UCID password is managed separately from the passwords to these systems, so they may differ.

• NJITDM accounts are used to access most any computer on campus running Microsoft Windows (including those in the public computing labs).
• An NJITDM account includes ADM e-mail, a Microsoft Exchange-based e-mail system with support for collaboration, meeting management, and much more.

Note: The following steps are not required for all members of the NJIT community. Check with your supervisor to see whether or not you need to complete these steps.

• If you are a faculty member, Highlander Pipeline is an indispensable resource for classroom management. Using its interface, you can view your class roster, email the entire class at once, have a course specific discussion board, and a live chat room.
• You may already have access to Highlander Pipeline. Visit my.njit.edu and attempt to login using your UCID and UCID password to check.
• If you do not already have access to Highlander Pipeline, contact the IST Helpdesk.

• ALPHA is the primary administrative information systems environment for the university’s student, financial, and human resource databases.  ALPHA accounts are issued only to faculty and staff.

• Note: In general, you will only need an ALPHA account for one of the following reasons:

  1. You are a faculty or staff member with a grant or other special funding.
  2. You are a staff member working in any of the central administrative or academic support offices of the university.
  3. You are a staff member helping to manage budgets for a department, grant, or special academic program.

• You may require additional ALPHA access, to FRS, HRS or SIS. Ask your supervisor if you require access to these systems.

  • If you require access to FRS (Financial Resource System), the system used for Purchase Orders and Budgeting, contact the Budget Office at (973)596-3126. An FRS ID is typically 4 digits long.
  • If you require access to HRS (Human Resources System), the system used for recording and reporting information about NJIT employees including payroll, benefits, personal information, etc, contact Human Resources at x3140.
  • If you require access to SIS (Student Information System), the system used for student grades and associated information, contact the Registrar Office at (973)596-3236. An SIS ID is typically 4 digits long.
