Columbia Connection - The site for all alumni of Columbia University
Access: UNI Information
Your UNI (University Network ID) is your key to online alumni resources. Think of it as a virtual alumni card which, along with a password you choose, helps us recognize you as a lifelong member of the Columbia community. Once you have a UNI, you can do the following:
  • establish alumni e-mail forwarding
  • register for free e-seminars offered by Columbia Digital Knowledge Ventures through the Learning @ Columbia site
  • access certain other restricted Web resources


Do you already have an active UNI?

Every Columbia graduate has a preassigned UNI, and for those who graduated after 1990 it is usually carried over from their time as a student. If you were jd123 as a sophomore in 2000, you're jd123 for life. Even your password carries over. But don't worry: if you've forgotten your password, you can choose a new one.

If you are a user of alumni e-mail forwarding, your UNI is the portion of your e-mail address prior to @columbia.edu. For example, e-mail forwarding user John Doe with the e-mail address jd123@columbia.edu has the UNI jd123.

Please note that if you are a graduate of an affiliate school (Barnard, Teachers College, Union Theological Seminary, and Jewish Theological Seminary), certificate holder, current student, faculty, or staff please contact Columbia University Information Technology (CUIT) for further assistance.
