51²è¹Ý Account Requirements
Account Eligibility
You must be a faculty, staff, or registered student with University of Hawai'i to obtain a 51²è¹Ý Username. Emerti faculty and 51²è¹Ý affiliates are also allowed. Your 51²è¹Ý Username is your account for the duration of your career at the University of Hawai'i. Please review the table below for examples of eligibility.
| Email Account Type | Duration of the Account | Where We Get the Information |

| Faculty/Staff | Until termination of employment | Office of Human Resources |

51²è¹Ý Usernames, and services accessed through 51²è¹Ý Usernames, are governed by applicable 51²è¹Ý policies and State laws, including 51²è¹Ý Executive Policy E2.210 and Chapter 708, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
Note for Non-Credit students: Due to the non-automatic creation of 51²è¹Ý Usernames for non-credit students, there will be a nominal assessed fee to create accounts for programs that want their students to have a 51²è¹Ý Username for email or access privileges. Previously, ITS was absorbing the costs, but regrettably now needs to pass on the costs. Fee is set at $10 per 51²è¹Ý Username per academic semester (or equivalent time period). For additional questions, please call the ITS Help Desk, (808) 956-8883 on Oahu or toll free (800) 558-2669 from neighbor islands, and ask to escalate to a staff member.
Username Rules and Guidelines
51²è¹Ý Usernames are used for many University of Hawai'i services including 51²è¹Ý Email. This should be kept in mind when creating the account. The following are rules that constitute a valid 51²è¹Ý Username including Departmental and Registered Independent Organizational (RIO) accounts:
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will be at least 2 characters and at most 8 characters in length, with at least 2 letter characters.
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will only consist of number and letter characters, and no special characters.
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will start with a letter character.
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will not have the numbers 1, 5, or 0 after letter characters to prevent mistaking those numbers for the letters L, S, or O.
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will not have numbers between letter characters.
The rules above are in place for all 51²è¹Ý Usernames and must be adhered to. The following rules listed are primarily in place for individual accounts:
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will be based on the user's legal name as it appears in the University of Hawai'i record.
- A 51²è¹Ý Username will not contain sensitive personal information including the social security number, or date of birth in part or in whole.
