Upcoming login changes to international student systems applications
On November 14, as part of the University initiative to migrate away from using NetID, the international student systems logins (including URCompass and Sunapsis) will change from NetID to Microsoft Entra ID accounts. The Entra accounts are based on the UR and URMC Active Directory (AD) accounts. For those with UR Active Directory accounts, the Entra username uses the format ADusername@ur.rochester.edu. For those with URMC AD accounts, the Entra username is the URMC email address, such as First_Last@urmc.rochester.edu. Read more about the change.
