Regular users – Use your 7-digit ID number and password. The User ID should be your 7-digit employee ID number. Your password should remain the same as was used in the previous version of PeopleSoft.

For example, if the user’s name is John Doe (0003569) and the password is “UHCLGRADES1”, the user would type:

User ID:0003569

Password:UHCLGRADES1

Type in both values and click “Sign In”.
