UAnet ID and UA e-mail

A UAnet ID is created for all employees upon hire to the University. The ID is printed on your Zip Card and provides access to your office computer, UA e-mail account, on campus internet access, and access to My Akron (https://uazips.sharepoint.com/).

When you receive your UA ID number, you may contact the IT Service Desk at 330-972-6888 or support@uakron.edu and have them create your initial password. After you have received this password, you can go to https://portal.office.com or https://uazips.sharepoint.com/ to complete your initial login. At this time you will be prompted to change your password and enroll in Microsoft Multi Factor Authentication (MFA).
