MedEd Administration Accounts

EdCom works closely with the MedEd Staff to ensure all standard accounts are correctly issued and properly functioning.  If your position requires access to secure campus systems [e.g., Financial Link, Travel Link, etc.], then you will need to contact your unit head to obtain the appropriate forms and permissions.

Issued by UCSD

When first hired at UCSD, faculty and staff are issued a UCSD Network Account and an Active Directory Account.
  1. The UCSD Network Account comes with:
    • A UCSD Network Username
    • 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)
    • Wireless authentication for using the campus WiFi network
  2. The Active Directory Account (AD), is a centralized authentication and resource management system used across UCSD, provides:
    • An Exchange account allowing client and web synchronization of email, contacts and calendar
    • Access to the campus productivity applications at the Biomedical and Medical Center libraries
    • Access to your MedEd network storage area and shared directories from general campus computers
