Resources for the Dean's Volunteer Faculty

To make your experience as a member of the volunteer faculty as seamless as possible, we have assembled a number of resources that provide answers to frequently asked questions.

Your UNI

The University Network ID (UNI) is a unique identifier assigned to each University student, faculty, researcher, or administrator, consisting of your initials and arbitrary numbers. Your UNI is used to provide access to Columbia University's systems and services, such as Courseworks, library resources, computer labs, employee self-service (HR and benefits information). It is assigned to you at your time of hire.

Your Email Account

You will receive an @cumc.columbia.edu email account when you begin working at CDM. If you were not notified your CUIMC email account was created, you will need to have your department or division request one for you. Please note:

Your UNI and CUIMC email passwords do not automatically synchronize. Changing your UNI account password will not change your email password and vice versa.
When off campus, connecting to your email requires Duo multi-factor authentication, and requires that you download the Duo mobile app.
