It is expected that faculty already have UCSD Network Accounts and Active Directory Accounts established through their home department.

A UCSD Network Account comes with:
- UCSD Network Username (see the Glossary or Email Terminology Helpsheet for more information),
- A campus email account with an email alias, [ie., the "@ucsd.edu" email address],
- Web proxy authentication when off campus for access to restricted UCSD resources (e.g., e-reserves and library databases), and
- Wireless authentication for using the campus WiFi network.
An Active Directory Account (AD) that provides centralized authentication and resource management across UCSD. The AD account provides:
- Access to the campus productivity applications at the Biomedical and Medical Center libraries, and
- Authentication for selected Medical Center information systems.
