August 12th, 2009HawkID 2.0 Update
July 31st, 2009
The campus HawkID service is being restructured to meet UI Health Care security requirements, provide consistency of service, and to reduce the resources that are required to roll out new services. This change will not impact most campus users.
UI Health Care students and employees will now have two IDs: a HealthCareID for workstation login and health care applications (Epic, Outlook, etc.) and a HawkID for University applications (Employee Self Service, ICON, etc.). For more information, see http://hawkid.uiowa.edu/project
You will use your HawkID to connect to this site. Healthcare faculty, staff, and students may activate their new HawkID password at https://web.its.uiowa.edu/password/home.page
For questions or problems, contact the ITS Help Desk, 319-384-HELP (4357), its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu.
