Step 1: Obtain a UCD Login ID   INTRO  1  2  3  NEXT
	What to do	How to do it
A.	Choose Your Login ID	A variety of services at UC Davis use the UCD LoginID as your identifier. DaFIS is one of these services. The UCD LoginID is an identifier you select for yourself that will be visible to all. It could be a favorite word, a set of initials, or your name. Your UCD LoginID must meet the following requirements: It must be between two and eight characters long. Use any letters and/or numbers in the English alphabet and numerical system. Adhere to the UC Davis "Principles of Community." Out of respect for others, your UCD LoginID should not include offensive language.
B.	Learn Campus Computing Account Basics	In order to obtain a UCD Login ID, you will need to establish a UC Davis Campus Computing Account. Your computing account will come with: UCD Login ID: The name you choose to call your computing account. UCD Mail ID: Usually the first and middle initial of your name, followed by your last name (e.g., jwsmith). Your UCD MailID is the set of characters of your e-mail address which precede @ucdavis.edu. This e-mail address will be your default address to which all DaFIS messages will be sent. Kerberos Password: The secret code you choose that allows you to access your computing account. This password will be used for access to DaFIS Decision Support, but may not necessarily be used for DaFIS Transaction Processing, unless it meets the criteria for a TP password. Many other campus computing services, such as Banner, Wires, the campus modems, and secured news and web services use the Kerberos Password.
C.	Set Up Your UCD Login ID	Note: You will need to have your Employee ID number in order to set up a computing account. If you don't know what your number is, check with your department's payroll representative. There are several options for obtaining your computing account. Choose the option that is easiest for you. To obtain an account online, go to the UC Davis Computing Account Services page. Select Get your UC Davis Computing Account and then click the Begin button. Follow the instructions to create a new UCD LoginID. Visit the I.T. Express office in Shields Library on campus. You will need to bring a copy of your PAF and a picture I.D. If you are at the Medical Center, you can request an account through Information Services (I.S.)
D.	Redirect Your Mail ID if You Use an Alternate E-mail Address	Remember, when you obtained a UCD Login ID, you also received a UCD Mail ID at the same time. This e-mail address will be your default address to which all DaFIS messages will be sent. If you do not want this address to be your default e-mail address, you can change your Mail ID to point to another e-mail address. Any mail sent to your UCD Mail ID will then be redirected to your preferred e-mail address. To redirect your Mail ID online, go to the UC Davis Computing Account Services page. Select Redirect your email address and then click the Begin button. Follow the instructions to change the e-mail address to which your MailID points.
