1. Read the account activation email you received from Identity@virginia.edu on or before your start date.
2. Follow the Account Activation Guide to create a UVA password and set up a device for 2-Step Login (Duo). You will use these login credentials to log in to Workday and other UVA systems in the future.

TIP: If you haven't already, add a secondary device to 2-Step Login Duo as a backup authentication method.

Do you have a prior affiliation with UVA? As a former or current employee, student, applicant, contractor/vendor, etc., you have already activated your account and will not receive an email.

• If you have forgotten your UVA credentials, learn your UVA computing ID or reset password
• If you have not enrolled your preferred devices, add your devices to 2-Step Login (Duo)
• Use these login credentials to log in to Workday and other UVA systems in the future.

If you are unable to get your UVA password, computing ID, or set up a device for Duo, contact the UVA Help Desk at 434.924.4357 for assistance.

The step below will only apply to employees in departments who use UVA Health accounts.

If your department uses Academic accounts, use your computing ID and password to login to your computer.

For School of Medicine employees in departments who use UVA Health computers, your account may need to be requested before logging in. Check in with your manager, department administrator, or manager designee.

Create your permanent UVA Health password (this is a different password than the one that you set in the step above).

Where to log in:

• To log in on Grounds*: Use a UVA Health computer
• To log in off Grounds: Visit the UVA Health Remote Email Access system

1. You will need the following information to create your permanent password.

• Computing ID: a random set of letters and numbers that will be your log-in username and your email prefix; it will look something like this: abc1xy. You received this ID when you completed the step above. This ID is exclusively yours and will never change any time you are affiliated with UVA.
• University (Employee) ID: a nine-digit number that is unique to you as a member of the UVA community and will never change. This can be found on your Workday Profile page after your start date.
• Temporary password: your temporary password will consist of your computing ID + the last four digits of your University ID (i.e., abc1xy1234)

2. Log in to the UVA Health network.
   1. Use your temporary password to log on the first time only.
   2. You will be prompted to change your temporary password to your permanent password.  See UVA Health password requirements, including minimum number of characters, capital letters, numbers, etc.

Use your new UVA Health password to log in to the UVA Health network and email. If you are unable to log into the UVA Health network using your Computing ID and any password, please call the Health IT Help Desk at 434.924.5334. 

UVA Health team members can set up a preferred name to display in many UVA systems. Your legal name is separate from your preferred name and can only be updated by providing documentation. If you're a student, contact the Office of the University Registrar (UREG). If you are faculty or staff, update it in Workday by selecting Personal Information then Legal Name.

Your preferred name is one that you can update directly in the Identity & Access Management Portal and displays in most UVA systems.

UVA uses Workday® as its Human Resources technology system to manage most HR activities. As part of the onboarding process, you are required to log into Workday to complete certain tasks and review important information.
