UMS User Account

Everyone has a UMS user account!

Your UMS user account is used to access system-wide technology services such as Brightspace, MyCampus portal, and UMS Email. It is also the root of your @maine.edu email address. Your UMS user account may also be referred to as your UMS ID. Everyone in the UMS has a UMS user account.

 

What is an Aux Account?

An "Aux" account is an additional UMS ID that is tied to your primary UMS ID.  Aux accounts are created only in specific situations where other solutions, such as a "Google Group Email" are not sufficient. For more information visit Google Group vs Aux Account.  To request an Aux Account, click the Request Aux Account button to the right and complete the form that is then presented.
