II. Getting Started

UCINetID and Multi-Factor Authentication

Your UCInetID is your key to online services provided by the main campus; most importantly, you will need it to sign up for direct deposit of your paycheck, view your class roster, access the Academic Rules, Standards & Procedures, submit your grades to the Law School’s Grading Module, and input your final exam information. Learn how to activate your UCInetID. (Note: If you are a Unit 18 lecturer, choose the Sponsored IDs, Groups, Retirees option.) Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) at UCI uses Duo to add a second layer of security when accessing protected systems and services. Learn how to enroll in Duo Multi-Factor Authentication. 

Law ID

After you have completed your hiring paperwork, you can contact IT at 949-824-1434 or help@law.uci.edu to get you setup with your Law ID.

To access the Faculty/Staff intranet: 1) visit www.law.uci.edu, 2) click the “Faculty” tab on the bottom banner, and 3) click "Log in to Faculty/Staff Intranet" to enter your Law ID credentials.
