Logon Accounts

A UCC Logon account is required to access UCC online services.  An account consists of a username and a password and depending on the account type may also include a UCC email address. For security, all UCC logon accounts are enabled for multifactor authentication, allowing for the account to be used off campus, see http://mfa.ucc.ie

UCC Logon Accounts should be used with UCC online services only, and not used to sign up to other non UCC supported Internet based services.

UCC IT Services is responsible for the creation and management of accounts and the following information describes the account types, how they are requested and the services available to use with them.  

Note: Once your UCC log-on account has been created, you will need to sign in within 3 months otherwise the account will be de-activated due to dormancy. 

Core Staff Account

Core Staff are provided with a Full Logon Account that provides access to UCC online services.  A full account consists of a username and password and @ucc.ie email address.  The account is licensed for full access to Microsoft Office 365 and UCC email.  Microsoft Office 365 services include email, full online and offline versions of MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, etc.), Microsoft Teams, OneDrive and Apps.

Most services use the email address and password for logon though some legacy services continue to use the username + password combination.

A Full account is automatically created for Core Staff when the HR Department notify IT Services of the commencement of the new staff member, so no additional request to create an account is required.

In addition, a password service is also available https://passwordreset.ucc.ie 

Core Staff can contact helpdesk@ucc.ie to recieve their Logon Account details.

 

Visitors to UCC

Visitors to UCC may require access to Wi-Fi while on campus.  If the visitor is from another University they will be able to use the Eduroam service on campus automatically using their own University Logon account.  See Eduroam service information pages for further detail  https://www.ucc.ie/en/it/services/eduroam/ 

If the visitor does not have a logon to Eduroam, then a Guest Wi-Fi account can be provided.  See https://www.ucc.ie/en/is/services/guestwi-fiinternetaccess/
