What is a student ID/UCA and where do I get it?
Your student ID-username is your official identification to access class information, registration, and more at Pierpont.
Every student who is registered is given an ID: username (UCA) and a number.
For example, if your email is jsmith2@student.pierpont.edu, then your UCA is jsmith2.
Your number would begin with an 'R' followed by zeros and 6 digits (ex., R00123456).
___________________________________________
Your username (UCA) should be on the back of your acceptance letter from Pierpont.
If you do not know your username/UCA or your student number,
contact Pierpont's Student Services.

How do i activate my username (UCA) and my email?
How do i activate my username (UCA) and my email?
While every student receives a username, the usernames are not "active" until the student sets them up.
When a student is accepted into Pierpont, 24 hours after being accepted, the student will receive 2 emails to the personal email account s/he provided.
The first email will provide the student's user ID/username (UCA) and her/his Pierpont email.
The second email will provide the student with a temporary password to her/his Pierpont email with a link to a website page where she/he can reset their password.
For help with this, contact Pierpont's Information Technology (IT) Department.
Below is the link to Pierpont's IT webpage for 1st-time users (new students) to activate their passwords.
