Steps to Change Your UNIX Username

  1. You must choose a username made up of 2-8 lowercase letters (no spaces, numbers, or punctuation marks).

    Examples:

  2. your first name (roger)
  3. your last name (rabbit)
  4. your first initial and your last name (rrabbit)
  5. your last name and first initial (rabbitr)
  6. If you are absolutely sure you want to change your username, use the guidelines above to create a new username.

  7. Type the new username in the box below and click the "CHANGE" button.

    If that username is already being used by someone else, the e-mail server will notify you immediately. You must then try a different username until you create one that is not being used by someone else.

NOTE: The change will take place early tomorrow morning. Until that time, you must use your old username.
