Technology — It's a Wonderful Thing!
umTech is your starting point for Information Technology Services here at the UofM. We're here because technology is such a huge part of the college experience; No matter what your comfort level is with using advanced technologies, umTech will help you get up to speed. We want you to be able to learn, teach, work, and stay connected through technology at the University of Memphis.
We answer your calls, visit staff and faculty offices, meet with you online or in our office to discuss technology. We also fix problems and host training sessions that could improve your performance and productivity. We will help you wrap your brain around the most innovative campus tools. With our help, you will be using technology to create, learn, explore, teach, and conduct business.
Need to Change or Reset Your UofM Password?
Want to change or reset your password? Your password, used with your Universal User ID (UUID), grants access to most of the University's technology resources and online services. This account password should be unique from every other password you use. Effective July 31, ITS Service Desk staff will transition to supporting the new process and will no longer have the capability to assign “temporary” passwords. For more information about this self-service feature please, see the New Password Reset Process webpage for instructions on changing your password. Note: If you have recently changed your password, forget and re-add all UofM wireless networks on all of your devices. For more help connecting to on-campus wireless networks, visit our wireless page.
