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
