Most of the accounts created for you on UT Health San Antonio systems will operate on a single password known as your UTHSCSA Domain Password. These accounts include your University Exchange email account, VPN, the HSCwave wireless network, Student Administration, Financials, Employee Self-Service, and more.
When your account is initially created, it will be configured with a default, pre-expired password. You will need to change this password before can log into your accounts.
Password reset self-service
