  1. Click Continue. Note: if you get a message stating your account has already been claimed, it likely means you already have an active account from a previous affiliation with any of the 11 North Dakota University System institutions. This can include high school AP courses, continuing ed, past employment, and previous admission applications.
  2. The next screen will provide your NDUS.identifier (also known as "dotted identifier", "user.name", and "first.last") which you use to log in to most UND/NDUS systems.
  3. Check the box to agree to NDUS policies and then select Continue.
  4. There will be a confirmation that your account has been activated.
  5. Click Continue.
  6. Now follow the rules to create your password. Then confirm your password.

  2. Select Continue.
  3. Your account is now claimed and you should have access to most UND systems.
Blackboard takes an additional 2 days after claiming your account to gain access.
If you've forgotten, and cannot reset your password with your recovery email, the UIT Service Center can reset your account password for you. Simply call us at 701.777.2222 any time, or start a live chat during normal business hours.
If you've been affiliated with any North Dakota university in the past, you may have already claimed your account and your password may have expired.
