Password Issues

All Distribution sites use your Columbia University (CU) UNI and password for authentication. This is not necessarily the same login information that you use for your CUIMC email.  To test whether your password is functional, try logging into MyColumbia.

CU IT is responsible for managing UNIs and any support that is required due to issues. For more information on your CU UNI and how to reset the password, please visit the “Manage My UNI” page.
