Once accepted to UHCL, a UserID is automatically generated that will allow access to Webmail.  Until the student enrolls in a course, this account remains "restricted" and can only be accessed from off campus.  Once registered, student accounts will have full access.  Student accounts allow for 100 MB of storage space.  This account will remain active until the student graduates. IF, after the first month of a new semester, the student doesn't re-enroll, the account will expire. 

Passwords for new students will be a lowercase "p" followed by their 7-digit student ID number followed by a $ (p1234567$). 

This single sign-on account gives the student the ability to log on to any on-campus PC that requires a login to the PCLab domain as well as:

• Webmail
• Pure Message Spam Management
• Blackboard

There is a separate login and password for accessing e-Services.  Usernames for e-Services will be your 7-digit student ID number.  E-Services is handled by the Student Assistance Center, located at SSCB 1101.  The SAC staff can be reached at 281-283-2722 or by email at uhclsac@uhcl.edu.
