FAQ
AS A NEW STUDENT, HOW CAN I SET UP A UNI/EMAIL ID?
The Registrar provides the data which grants students eligibility for UNIs and
email IDs. You will not be able to activate your UNI and email ID until data
about your status as a student is in place. Once it is, you'll be able to
activate your ID online.
If you try to activate your ID before your data is in place, you will receive an
error suggesting that you don't exist. Please wait at least a day before trying
again. Most incoming students will be able to activate their IDs sometime during
the summer before arriving on campus, but the precise timing is not always
predictable.
AS A NEW EMPLOYEE, HOW CAN I SET UP A UNI/EMAIL ID?
Human Resources provides the data which grants employees eligibility for UNIs
and email IDs. Since there can sometimes be a delay before that data is in
place, you should contact your departmental administrator (DA) to get interim
eligibility via a departmental data feed called Delegated Identity
Administration (DIA). After your DA has entered your information, you will be
able to activate your UNI and email account online.
I USE UNI MAIL FORWARDING SO EMAIL SENT TO MY UNI@COLUMBIA.EDU ADDRESS IS
AUTOMATICALLY FORWARDED TO MY PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNT, BUT IT’S NOT ALWAYS
WORKING. WHY AREN’T ALL MY EMAIL MESSAGES BEING PROPERLY FORWARDED?
"Missing" emails like this are an unfortunate result of security measures that
many companies use to prevent scammers from spoofing email from their addresses.
This practice was begun by financial institutions, but is now used widely,
including by some general email services like Yahoo and Gmail. These measures
ask that email be rejected unless it comes directly from the company’s
authorized servers. Many email providers including Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL, honor
the request as email comes in for their users. In these cases, when columbia.edu
tries to re-send email based on your UNI Mail Forwarding setup in Manage My UNI,
it fails. This security feature cannot be overridden by Columbia.
As a result, Columbia will be changing the way you can forward your
UNI@columbia.edu to external email systems. On October 22, 2019, the option to
create new forwarding to email systems outside the University was removed.
Existing external forwarding will continue to function until it is removed. The
date for removal has been postponed from March 17, all impacted users will be
notified of the new date after it is confirmed. After that point, UNI
mail-forwarding to Columbia systems (Ex. jd1234@columbia.edu to
jane.doe@barnard.edu or j_doe@nyp.org) will continue to be available. If you
want to continue to forward your Columbia email to a personal email system, you
can set up manual forwarding.
If you currently use UNI Mail Forwarding -- or are unsure if your forwarding
setup is allowed -- please refer to the Columbia Email Forwarding page.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO FORWARDING MY @COLUMBIA.EDU EMAIL?
Change the email address on file with the sender. Provide the sender with the
email address where you read your email, that is not forwarded elsewhere.
Deliver to your Lionmail account. Remove the UNI Mail Forwarding in Manage My
UNI and consistently monitor your LionMail account.
Deliver to your Exchange account. Some administrative staff are on this system,
which they access using Outlook. Use UNI Mail Forwarding in Manage My UNI to
forward your UNI@columbia.edu to your @adcu.columbia.edu (or @ei or @ais)
address. This internal forward has been confirmed to work in all cases.
Set up manual forwarding in your Columbia account settings. Remove the UNI Mail
Forwarding in Manage My UNI and manually update the settings in your Columbia
email system to forward to your personal account and to keep a copy of all
forwarded emails, so you can check for messages that are missing.

FAQ
I AM AN ALUM, HOW CAN I RESET MY PASSWORD?
Columbia alumni can reset their password
from https://tools.alumni.columbia.edu/uni/.
Current students, faculty, and staff at Columbia should
visit https://uniapp.cc.columbia.edu/acctmanage/resetpasswd to reset their
password.
I LEFT THE UNIVERSITY AND HAVE NOW RETURNED. SHOULD I ACTIVATE MY UNI?
If you activated your UNI in the past, then you will just need to ensure that
you remember your password. If you have forgotten your password, visit
http://uni.columbia.edu and click on "Forgot Password?" You may also need to
activate your LionMail account if you are not a student. Visit
http://uni.columbia.edu and click on "Activate UNI or Email" to activate
LionMail.
I AM LEAVING COLUMBIA WITHOUT GRADUATING. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY EMAIL AND UNI?
If you are not returning to Columbia next semester, you will need download or
forward the important contents of your LionMail inbox to your personal email
account because your UNI access will expire after about 10 months. For those
that have stored files on the CUNIX directory, you will need to download your
files and save them in a personal account.
If there is anything you will need help with, such as downloading files or
forwarding emails, you should take care of this before you leave campus so that
you can take advantage of the technicians in the CUIT Walk-in Center.
Your UNI will go through several status changes after you leave Columbia. Over
the ten months following your departure, your UNI will transition as follows:
* Active
* This period will last until the end of final semester for which you
registered.
* Nine-month grace period
* At the end of the grace period, you will receive an email (in your Columbia
email inbox) warning you that your UNI access is set to expire in
approximately one month.
* One-month warning period
* You will receive weekly warnings that your UNI access is about to expire.
* Expired
For example, if you depart mid-spring semester, your UNI will be in its grace
period until February of the following year. If you register again at Columbia
before the grace period is over, your UNI will return to active status
automatically.
After you leave Columbia, you will no longer have access to:
* CUIT computer labs
* CUIT printers in CUID-restricted areas (labs, etc)
You will maintain access to online Columbia Libraries resources for about six
months.
If you are the owner of any club or organization websites or mailing lists, you
should also make arrangements to transfer the ownership to someone else. You can
begin this process by submitting a ticket to CUIT.
AFFILIATE SCHOOL DEPARTURES
Please visit your local computing support site to learn about their policies on
grace periods:
* Barnard College IT (BCIT)
* Teachers College Computing and Information Services (CIS)
* Union Theological Seminary Help Desk
I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. WHY IS MY ACCOUNT EXPIRING?
Your account has been set to expire because you no longer appear in the database
of current employees provided to CUIT by Human Resources. If this is an error,
please ask your departmental administrator to help you update your status with
HR.
