Creating Your Student Accounts
After you are admitted...

Catalyst serves as your hub and self-service center for information and actions you can take as an admitted, enrolled, or current student such as:
- Check the status of your financial aid
- Run a Transfer Credit Evaluation Report
- Search for available classes
- Your default password is Uc!mmddyyyy where mmddyyyy is your full date of birth. You will be prompted to change this password the first time you log in.
If you can't find this information in your inbox or need other technical support, contact the Help Desk now at helpdesk@uc.edu or by phone at 513-556-4357 or use the online personal information resource provided by OneStop.
After you confirm your admission...
- You will receive an email with instructions for setting up your University of Cincinnati email address. It may take 1-2 weeks for this email to arrive in your inbox.

- If it has been several weeks since you have completed the confirmation process please first check that you have fully confirmed by submitting the Confirmation Form as well as the Confirmation Fee. If you have fully confirmed and still have not received an email with instructions to set up your new email address, please contact the Office of Admissions.
