FirstClass User Name and Password*

 

1. When logging in, you will be prompted for your FirstClass user name and password. Your FirstClass user name is your UIC NetID — the portion of your UIC e-mail address that comes before "@uic.edu." Initially, your FirstClass password is the last 8 digits of your social security number. Example:

UIC e-mail address:
jjones1@uic.edu
UIC NetID:
jjones1
FirstClass user name:
jjones1
Social Security Number:
987-65-4321
FirstClass initial password:
87654321


2. You should change your password the first time you use FirstClass. Doing so will NOT change the password on your Tigger or Icarus account. Changing your FirstClass password to your Tigger or Icarus password will help you to remember it.

To change your FirstClass password, you must run the FirstClass client, which can be found in any of the ACCC Public Computer Labs on campus, or can be downloaded free (it is also included in the UIC NSKit). It is not possible to change your FirstClass password via a web browser. To change your password using the FirstClass client:

1. Launch the FirstClass client and login.

2. From the Connection pull-down menu in the Menu Bar choose "Change Password".

3. You will be asked to enter your old password, and enter the password you want to change it to. A third blank is provided so that you can verify that you typed your new password correctly.
