What is the ULg username and password?

Certain internet services provided by the SEGI (email, telephone access to the internet at home, access to Intranet services or to personalised information, connection in public access rooms or to the ULg’s Wi-Fi network, etc.) demand the verification of the user’s identity. To simplify this identity verification process, the SEGI has chosen to attribute a username to each ULg user who makes such a request (called a ULg username to underline its universal character within the ULg), as well as a combined password.

The ULg password is of course personal and must not be communicated to anyone else. In addition internet use through the ULg network is subject to ethical standards and regulations which must be observed.

For ULg personnel, the ULg username takes the form of a string of characters, beginning with the letter ‘u’ in lowercase followed by the six numbers of the person’s administrative identification number (which appears on the ULg wage slips).

Thanks to these codes users can themselves request (in an automated manner via the Web server) the creation of an electronic mailbox (email), the possible rerouting of mail towards another address, the activation of an answering machine and other services which will be provided over time. Finally, the username and password are requested in the everyday use of these services (each time identity verification is necessary).
