UNI Activation & LionMail

University Network ID (UNI)

Your UNI, consisting of your initials followed by a four-digit number, is the key to accessing computer services and electronic resources at Columbia. Your UNI serves as both your on-campus ID number, as well as your columbia.edu email address.

Your UNI also allows you to gain access to all official university email messages, restricted Columbia University Library information and services, student grades, billing, and registration information. 

If you have not yet activated your UNI, please visit Manage my UNI.
