How to Log In to UNITE Courses

UNITE uses the University's WebVista services to host courses - each UNITE courses is set up as a separate WebVista section requiring a unique WebVista account and password for each person enrolled.  You access your WebVista sections through the University's "MyU" site. 

The MyU site is a "portal" web site - a single, personal online gateway to the University.  When you login to MyU, you are able to access the WebVista and Moodle sections for your courses, your University email account and other University services and information personalized for you. 

To login

1. If you are new to the University of Minnesota, UNITE will initiate your University ID creation and send it to you.  If you have a University ID from a past affiliation with the University (i.e., previous student enrollment, previous application to a program or college, etc.) and have forgotten it, please contact our office. 
   
   First time users will need to activate University Internet IDs and set the password.  Otherwise, skip to item number two on this list.
   
   You only need to activate this account once. 
   
   Activate your University Internet ID account by visiting the Student Account Initiation web site at https://umn.edu/initiate .
   
   
2. Navigate to the University's MyU portal web page at www.myu.umn.edu .
   
   
3. Log in. Type your University Internet ID and password in the correct fields.
   
   
4. Click OK.
   
   
5. Click the "myCourses" tab.
   
   
6. All WebVista sections in which you are enrolled or otherwise have access are listed under the WebVista section, including UNITE courses (UNITE course names include "UNITE Streaming" in the title, for example "CSci0000 - Spring 2008 - UNITE Streaming"). Click on the course link to view the homepage for the WebVista section for that course.
