SUBJECT:
Initiating UMD Email/Internet, Suppression of Personal Data, & U Cards
As students enrolled in courses through the University of Minnesota Duluth College in
the Schools (CITS) program at your high school, your personal information is accessible
on the Internet as public information. Information available on UMD’s Web site, such as
your home address and phone number, may be information you do not wish accessible to
others. You are encouraged to suppress your personal information. Be sure to first set
your email password online prior to suppressing your personal data.
Initiate your UMD email account after your registration is active:
1. Request your UMD ID number and username (email) from your CITS teacher.
Always enter your UMD username in lower case, and do not include the:
“@d.umn.edu” part.
2. Log on to: http://www.umn.edu/initiate
3. Type your UMD/student ID number and birthdate.
For example: 1133678
07/20/1991
4. Type an 8-10 character password that includes upper and lower case letters, digits,
and at least one symbol, for example: Joh17A+!. Memorize your password. If
necessary, write down your password and keep it confidential.
Note: Passwords are case sensitive, so please remember which letters you chose to
capitalize.
5. Click “Submit Form” and your Internet and email accounts are activated.
If you encounter any problems, call UMD computing services at: 218/726-8847. The
staff will be able to set a temporary password for you.
1. After the temporary password is set, you need to set a permanent password. The
temporary password is only good until midnight. Please change your UMD
password immediately. Log on to: http://www.umn.edu/dirtools
2. Enter your UMD username (without the @d.umn.edu) and enter the temporary
password. Click “Sign In”
3. Under Passwords/Security, select Change your Internet password (for self-service
applications).
4. Enter the temporary/current password, your preferred/new password, and confirm
your new password.
5. To help you remember your password, fill in the Share a secret section and enter
the secret type and value/answer. Once your permanent password is set, it can
take up to one hour to activate the new password.
6. Click “Submit” and your new password will be activated within one hour.
Note: Often students set a password then try email immediately, which will not work. Please
allow up to one hour for your password to be activated in the UMD system.
Access your UMD email
In order to access your UMD email online, go to http://www.d.umn.edu/gmail type your
UMD username (e.g. johns069), your password, and click “Sign In.”

UMD Library privileges are tied to UMD CITS registration activation, including online database
access. Library student account activation, which allows students to check out materials and access
Interlibrary Loan and Distance Learner Services (if you reside 51 miles or more from UMD), is
linked to the printing and activation of your UMD U Card. Students receiving a UMD U Card
should allow two days from the print date for full Library privileges to activate. For questions
about your UMD email or Internet computer account, contact UMD computing services at:
218/726-8847.
