Self-Service Password Reset: Effective July 1, 2024, IT will be implementing self-service password reset for all accounts enrolled in Microsoft Authenticator. To reset your password, please go to the Password Reset Portal. You will need to have your mobile device ready for multi-factor authentication to complete the password reset. This method is the fastest and most secure way for clients to regain access to their accounts.
Please note that TechServices will no longer be able to verify personal information for password resets over the phone once this initiative begins.
End of Computer Orders: In order to guarantee that all computer orders are process and invoiced by the fiscal year FY24 deadline, TechServices will stop accepting new orders on May 22, and will resume at the start of FY25 in July.
If you would like to order soon, please browse our available devices on our Hardware page. All email inquiries can be sent by email to: computer_configurations@uml.edu.
