Logging in to the CMS

Find out how to log in to the campus CMS.

Logging in

You must be provisioned in the CMS before you can log in.

1. Connect to UC San Diego's VPN using one of the 2-step options, such as "2-Step Secured - Allthruucsd".
2. Using a recommended Web browser, go to https://cms.ucsd.edu.
3. Log in using your Active Directory (AD) username and password.
   Note: Initial access previously used your business systems account. Business systems is being phased out and AD is now the default access requirement for the CMS. You may choose to select business systems on the login screen, but this will eventually be retired.

Logging out

• Sessions are 8 hours long. In other words, you will be automatically logged out after 8 hours of inactivity in the CMS.
• To manually logout, click on your profile image in the upper right hand corner and then click Sign Out.
