What is an eID?
There are a variety of online services available to you as a member of the University community. Your eID (and its associated password) will identify you to all of these services. The aim of the eID is the create a campus wide sign on that is recognized by every online service. Currently you can only associate your eID with your UCID numbers and your IT username. This will give you access to a large variety of services including Blackboard, Webmail and even Campus Rec.
