UCID & Campus Directory Information

1. Do a Directory Lookup for yourself by clicking on the "Find Someone" link from the menu. Search for yourself by last name to see what information is displayed.
2. Click on your entry in the "Name" column. Pay close attention to the field "Preferred Email." This is the email address that will be displayed when someone searches for you.
3. Enter your UCID and your password and hit "Modify" on the bottom of the page. You can now update the information in the gray sections.
   
   
   • For Public Web Searches:" Allows you to prevent people outside the NJIT community from finding you. Select "Do" if you want everyone to find you. If you want only the NJIT community to find you, select "Do NOT." This will keep your information hidden during general searches. The following result will be displayed: "Note: 1 user wishes not to provide public access to their entry." Members of the NJIT community will be able to find you through the "Advanced Search" function. Note: you will also have to use the "Advanced Search" function if you want to modify your personal information.
   
   
   
   • "Mail Forward:" is extremely important! The university will send you important communications to the address listed in the "Preferred Email:" field. If you would prefer to use another email system (e.g. AOL, Hotmail), it is important that you forward your Mailhost email to the preferred account. Enter that email address in the field and select "Forward Mail to:" or "Copy & Forward to:" If you select "Copy & Forward to:" the email will automatically be stored on Mailhost and be forwarded. If you select "Forward Mail to:" there will be no trace of email received on Mailhost.


4. Once you are finished making changes, enter your UCID and password and hit "Modify" on the bottom of the page.
