Before requesting a UMIACS account, any new prospective UMIACS account holder needs to have a UMD directory ID. This is to allow them to connect to UMD's GlobalProtect VPN to be delegated access to our networked resources after their account install is completed.

  • This also needs to be done for any UMIACS account holder before the January 2025 event that does not already have a directory ID, for UMIACS technical staff to be able to get them access to their UMIACS account again.

Existing UMD students, faculty, and staff should already have directory IDs. For external collaborators, at other institutions or otherwise, faculty members will need to request affiliate appointments for them. An overview of the different types of affiliate appointments can be found here. To actually request an appointment, fill out this form and send it to umiacs-payroll@umiacs.umd.edu.

If the person the appointment is being requested for already has a UMIACS account, please be sure to request their directory ID be the same as their UMIACS username, if the ID is available.

Once the person gets their appointment and thus their directory ID, they can fill out the UMIACS account request form (if new) or contact technical staff to get access to their existing UMIACS account again (if existing). If filling out the new UMIACS account request form, please let the person know they should use their directory ID as the requested UMIACS username.
