Getting Started is Easy!

1. Activate your account and set your password.

  • Go to MyUAlbany Welcome at http://www.albany.edu/myualbany and select UAlbany Password Set/Reset. 
  • To complete the Password Set, you must enter your SSN or AlbanyID, date of birth, and PIN. 
    • If you don't know your PIN, select Forgot your PIN? on the Password Set and follow the instructions.
    • Your AlbanyID was issued by the Admissions or Registrar's office, and may be listed on correspondence you received from the University.
  • Next, create a complex password and set the security questions for your account. 
  • When you successfully complete the steps, a confirmation message will display your NetID and the systems to which you are granted access.  Memorize your NetID as it is your username and will never change.
Note
  • If the confirmation message states the password was set/reset for MyUAlbany and UNIX systems but was NOT set/reset for UAlbany Mail, you will only have access to MyUAlbany and not to your University email account.  Wait another four hours and then complete a password set/reset again.  The confirmation message should then include the statement that the password was set/reset for UAlbany Mail.
  • If the confirmation message states there is an error with the NetID and does not mention the password being set/reset for any system, your account is not processed.  You  must wait until after 1pm on the next business day to complete the UAlbany Password Set/Reset.

2.  Log on to MyUAlbany using your NetID and password.
