Two-Step Login Now Open for Students; Required October 16

I am happy to announce the availability of two-step login for all students at UC San Diego. An optional usage period is open now, and two-step login will become required for undergraduate, graduate, professional and medical and pharmacy students starting October 16, 2019.

Two-step login applies to nearly all student online functions, including registering for classes, paying bills, performing a degree audit and connecting via VPN. Students were informed yesterday via a joint campus announcement from the office of the Vice Chancellor - Student Affairs, IT Services and UC San Diego Health Information Services.

To support this rollout, IT Services will be communicating directly with students, and partnering with multiple entities, including but not limited to, the Office of the Vice Chancellor – Student Affairs, the colleges, Graduate Division, and the medical and pharmacy schools.

More information is available at twostep.ucsd.edu. For assistance, contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@ucsd.edu or 858-246-4357.
