Solutions for myULM Access Challenges
⚠️ Forgot Username
Cause: Unsure of your ULM email username.
Solution: Your username is the first part of your @warhawks.ulm.edu or @ulm.edu email. If you don't know your email address, you can use the online form to look up your username using your CWID. Alternatively, contact the ULM Help Desk at (318) 342-3333.
⚠️ Forgot myULM/Email/Moodle Password
Cause: Cannot recall the password for your primary ULM digital portal access.
Solution: If you know your current password, you can change it by logging into myULM, navigating to the Campus Systems tab, and using the password reset tool. If you've forgotten it, you will need to contact the ULM Help Desk at (318) 342-3333.
⚠️ Forgot Banner Password
Cause: Unable to log into the Banner system specifically.
Solution: For Banner password issues, please contact the Registrar's Office directly at (318) 342-5262 during their normal operating hours.
⚠️ First-Time Login Password
Cause: New user attempting to log in for the first time.
Solution: Your default password is your 6-digit birthdate (MMDDYY) followed by a dash and the last four digits of your CWID (MMDDYY-XXXX). For example, if your birthday is March 2nd, 1998, and your CWID ends in 5678, your password would be 030298-5678.
⚠️ Issues Accessing Lab Computers
Cause: Denied access to campus lab systems.
Solution: Current students need to log in with their myULM credentials. If you are denied access, it's often due to an expired password. Changing your myULM password will update it for most ULM systems (excluding Banner) and should resolve the lab access issue. The password reset tool is available under the Campus Systems tab in myULM.
Securing Your myULM Digital Environment
- 🔒 Enable Two-Factor Authentication (MFA): When you first log in, you'll be prompted to choose an authentication method. The most secure option is downloading the OneLogin Protect authentication app. The alternative is setting up three security questions.
- 🔒 Choose the OneLogin Protect App: This method is preferred for its enhanced security. Instructions for setup are available through ULM IT.
- 🔒 Select Security Questions Carefully: If you opt for security questions, choose them with care, as someone with knowledge of your personal history could potentially answer them.
- 🔒 Strong Password Practices: Your password must be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information.
- 🔒 Regular Password Changes: Your myULM password expires every 90 days, requiring you to update it periodically to maintain security.
- 🔒 Sign Out Always: Always sign out of myULM and any integrated campus systems when you finish your session, especially on shared computers.
- 🔒 Browser Navigation: Use the navigation buttons and links within the myULM portal itself rather than your web browser's forward and back buttons to ensure session integrity.
