Here are some of the accounts that will be of interest to UMCP Community
- Directory Services - All faculty, staff and students (as well as
sponsored affiliates) have information records stored in the directory. The directory contains the standard
office and telephone contact information, as well as username and password.
Certain campus applications are integrated with directory
services for authentication. Two such applications are Oracle
calendaring service and ELMS.
The protocol the Office of Information Technology (OIT) uses for their
Directory Service is LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Please follow
the instructions on
Setting your University Directory (LDAP) Password for the First Time.
- Testudo is the system where students can register for classes, apply for
parking permits, get grade reports, and more.
Testudo is read through a Web interface and can be accessed at: http://www.testudo.umd.edu.
Testudo uses the Student Identification Number to identify you and
new students receive a
PIN number
during orientation. The PIN is used as a password to access your Testudo account when using the Student Information Identification to log into
the system.
Students can also log into Testudo using their Directory ID and password.
Students who have forgotten their PIN should contact the
Office of the Registrar.
- Mail@umd offers faculty, staff, and students fast reliable e-mail, virus scanning, junk mail
analysis, and a
Web-based interface that
allows you to view and manage messages without configuring a browser client.
To create a Mail@umd account you need to have a Directory ID.
Here's how to activate your e-mail account.
- ARES (Administrative Resource Enterprise Services) is a web-based
platform
for administrative, faculty, and research services. ARES accounts are available automatically
to staff, faculty, and students employed at the University.
Services currently available via ARES include the ability to
update your personal information, access Payroll and Human Resources,
among others.
The ARES login page can be found at
http://www.ares.umd.edu.
- WAM - (Workstations At Maryland). This
system provides a Unix shell account with full Internet access for all
faculty, staff, and students upon request. Most
computer labs on campus require a WAM login and password
to sign in.

pre-paid debit account
that can be used by faculty, staff, and students to pay for many services and products at the University.

- Print Accounts are required to print in public computer
labs. Terrapin Express is used to fund the print account, therefore, a Terrapin Express account is required
to apply for a print account. To obtain a print account once you have a Terrapin Express account, visit the
OIT Help Desk.
