Your accounts and passwords are administered and managed from Network Operation Center (NOC) at OTE.

Benefits

Registering for a UMT account establishes your identity in UMT's system and provides you with access to a vast technology services and resources on campus.

Authentication

Once you access the IT services in campus, you will be asked to enter your UMT ID and required password. This is to confirm that you are who you say you are. When these systems ask for your username and password, they're really asking for your centrally-maintained UMT username and password.

Requirement

University ID

Guest Access

The guest access system at UMT is intended to provide a simple way to allow temporary visitors to access IT facilities at university. Guest accounts can be used to access the UMT Wireless service and use computers on the UMT network. The accounts are designed to be temporary in nature, to be used by guests visiting UMT for short periods of time. The accounts do not have home directories or email accounts associated with them.

Password Protection Note:

Never let anyone else know your password – including friends or other systems that could use your UMT identity. You can be held responsible for anything done in your username. Sometimes it may seem that you need to let someone else know your password (to share a file, for instance), but there are always workarounds. Don't give away the key to your account. Change your password frequently – every semester at least, and any time you think someone else may have learned it. Read More
