Logging Into ARES

ARES (Administrative Resource Enterprise Services)is located at http://www.ares.umd.edu/. To access ARES, use Firefox 2.x or Internet Explorer 6 or higher. When accessing ARES for the first time, it is a good idea to download the Maryland Security Certificate. Doing this will streamline the accessing of ARES. Read the on-screen prompts carefully; it is recommended that you accept the Maryland Security Certificate until it expires.

ARES Screen

  • Click on the Login option on the left side of the screen to begin using ARES.
  • You will see a prompt on the right side of the screen asking for your Directory ID or UID and Directory Password.

    UMID and PIN

  • After clicking the Login button, you will see a message indicating that your login is successful.

At this point, any of the options on the left side can be selected, such as Personal Services to view information about your records, Financial Records System to gain access to the FRS system, or Dept. of Business Services to access CARS.
