3. Select CREATE AN ACCOUNT

 

4. Fill in the details using your UMN credentials and hit CREATE.

 

5. You will receive an email at your @umn.edu email address to set up a password. This password should be different from your UMN password.

You should then have access to the database. When accessing remotely, be sure you are connected to the University's Full-Tunnel VPN.

All users will be required to reset their account after June 30 each year.

Instructions to reset password:

Follow the above instructions for Students, Staff & Faculty to set up a new account. Current users are not resetting their account, only passwords. All saved searches and charts will still be accessible after the password reset.
