Your Unity Account
All NC State students, faculty, and staff members have Unity accounts that provide access to many computing services and facilities.
Unity ID & Password
Your Unity ID and password are your keys to many computing resources at NC State. As a registered student, you should have received your Unity ID and information about your default password with your account.
Your default password is not secure, so you can’t use it to access any of the important information you’ll need from the MyPack Portal. As soon as you receive this password, be sure to do these two things:
- Go to http://www.ncsu.edu/password and change your default password to a secure one that only you know.
- Go to http://www.ncsu.edu/uia and create three security questions and answers that will identify you to Help Desk consultants in the event you need to call and have your password reset to your default.
- Visit http://oit.ncsu.edu/unity-accounts/your-unity-password for more details.
