Changing Your Password

You will be required to change your password every 180 days. You will receive an email when it is time to do so. If your password expires before you have an opportunity to change it, you can call the University Technology Service Center at 973-408-4357 and they can assist you in resetting your password. In order to change your password:

# Go to https://password.drew.edu/. If you have not logged in already, please do so.

  1. Select Change Password 
  2. You will be brought to a copy of our network agreement. Read the agreement and check I Agree. Click Continue. Do NOT click Logout.
  3. Review all requirements. Your password must meet these requirements or the Change Password button will not activate.
  4. Enter in your Current Password.
  5. Enter a New Password that meets our requirements. A bar will appear on the right hand side showing the strength of your password. The stronger, the better.
  6. Enter that password again in the Confirm Password field. If the password matches, a green check mark will appear next to the field. If not, a red x will be there.
  7. Select Change Password.
    Note

    The Change Password button will appear inactive until you have put in a password that meets all requirements and put the password in both the New Password and Confirm Password fields.

  8. It will say that it is working on changing your password. If it has succeeded, you will be brought to a page declaring your success.
  9. Your password is now changed. You will use the new password to log in to all Drew services.

On and Off Campus Log in (Drew Computers Only)

Use the Log on to Novell Network log in option to connect your Drew computer directly to the Drew servers. This means you will have direct access to your Network Drives. It also means that library database resources are available to you without having to log in again. 

Off Campus Log In

You will need to use the Computer Only Logon any time you are not on campus. If you try to log on to your computer as if you were on campus, it will fail, as it cannot connect to the Drew network.

After choosing Computer Only Logon, enter your Drew uLogin information normally. Keep in mind that, because you are not connected to the Drew network, you will not have direct access to your Network Drives.

Storing Your uLogin Password with Keychain (Mac Only)

The Keychain Access application can be useful for storing passwords, but you should be aware of the risks before using it.  If you decide to utilize Keychain and store your uLogin password with Keychain, you may enocunter the following issues.  For more information on how Keychain behaves when interacting with the Drew network, see the section on Keychain Behavior in Technology Help and Information.
