Faculty and Staff QuickStart

After you are hired, a network account is created for you to myUHD faculty portal, email, blackboard, and your office computer. Some services on campus are under Duo 2FA (two-factor authentication) protection. When prompted with a Duo 2FA login screen you must provide a second factor of authentication. You may use your cellular device for a push notification using the Duo app, text, or call. Explore all Duo 2FA options at http://www.uhd.edu/2FA.
