MyUNIverse Navigation

Printable Version

MyUNIverse is a component of the UNI website that allows you to view personal records and important information about UNI in one convenient location. Your particular MyUNIverse page, referred to as a portal, is a secure and custom-made location. It contains data that is specific to you and your needs at UNI.

Access to MyUNIverse is gained through a login and password. Because MyUNIverse contains private information, it is extremely important to keep your password safe and to always logout of your portal when you are finished.

Determining Your Login ID-CatID

Your CatID is the combination of your username and password used for systems authenticated through the Central Authentication System. The CatID logo is your clue to use this username/password combination to log in.

Your username is the unique 3-8 character account name that identifies you as a member of the UNI community. For students, your username is the portion before the @ sign in your UNI email address.

Your MyUNIverse Password

If you are accessing email or MyUNIverse as a new user, your initial password is in the format mmdd$nnnnnn (mm is the first 2 letters of your birth month, dd is the 2 digit number of your birth day and nnnnnn is your 6 digit university ID#, example: ja01$123456). For security reasons, you are required to change your password the first time you log in. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and must contain at least one alpha, one numeric, and one special character. See the password requirements for a complete listing.
