Accounts

The Smith School utilizes several different password-protected systems to provide services for students, faculty, and staff.   

File Storage and Email accounts are automatically created for those hired or enrolled in the business school.  If you need an account but will not be hired or enrolled in the school, please make an account request here.

Read more about additional information on accounts below.  In addition, you can take a look at our Accounts chart for a quick glance at our account offerings.

This account is used to access your RHSmith Webmail, Sametime, MBA Networth.  Every account is created with a quota according to your role in the Business School and an entry (a "profile") in our BMGT Public Address Book. To update your profile, including forwarding your mail to another account, please look at the Profiles page. For other questions or problems with Domino accounts, contact the Smith IT Help Desk.

All accounts are active until 30 days after graduation or until the last day of employment.  Make sure to copy or remove any important personal information as you will not have access to it after this date. Copy your Notes mail to another email client  BEFORE your accounts are removed.

This account allows users to login to the Smith School Network, which includes any computer located in the classrooms, conference rooms or computer labs and access to network printing. Each user receives network space (designated as K:) for storing school related documents.  Quotas are determined by your role in the Business School.  This network space is a privilege and should not be abused. Inappropriate material will be deleted without notice or consideration.

This account is also used for printing. You must be logged in in order to print to any of the network printers in VMH.  For more information about printing, please visit our Printing page.

For questions or problems with file storage accounts, contact the Smith IT Help Desk.

Each person connected with the University of Maryland in any way is listed in the University Directory without having to apply for an "account" in the usual sense.  Anyone listed in the directory can set up a new username and password at OIT's website.  Your University Directory ID will be used for most campus systems.  It is also used for the following systems unique to Smith.

To look up your University Directory ID or for help with University Directory ID password, please visit http://www.directory.umd.edu.

Important Information! Please review the UM Directory Password Information and the Password Policy for R.H. Smith and UM Directory accounts. These password policies apply to all the accounts listed below. 

To change your passwords for your University Directory ID/Active Directory account (the one you use to log into campus systems such as Blackboard, Testudo, smithapps and wireless)  and Lotus Notes/iNotes (if you have an email@rhsmith.umd.edu address) please visit our Passwords information page.

If you are a faculty or staff member who needs to change your Novell password (used to log into file storage and office computers in VMH), please follow the instructions here.

Every email account holder has a BMGT profile document, whether currently enrolled or an alumni - and every employee and student of umd.edu has a campus directory profile.  These profiles should include your most up-to-date contact information. Information will be used as a reference, not only for forwarding emails to you, but also to capture other pertinent statistics for the School such as degree program and concentration, current employment information, etc.  (Your Blackboard email is sent to the address set in your UMID profile.) You can choose to make information such as home address or work information "Public" or "Private."
