Your ICS Password

When all students, staff and faculty members arrive at the University of Illinois they are issued a NetID and NetID password. Your NetID password is used to set up all other passwords, as well as for logging in to secure university web pages and U of I Direct. In order to use the ICS computer labs, you must set up an ICS Password. Your ICS password is not used to check your email or log in to any other computing system at the University; it is strictly for use in the ICS computer labs.

Creating your ICS Password

  1. Go to the CITES Password Home Page.
  2. Click on the CITES Passwords button and log in using your NetID and NetID password.
