Logging in - current students
You will have access to myUCLCareers from the first day of your course at UCL as shown on your enrolment record, (usually the first day of the autumn term), and will need to use your UCL 'single sign-on' user ID and password (issued by ISD) to sign in to your personal myUCLCareers profile until your course / programme finishes.
While you are a current student at UCL, if your UCL user ID / password is working for other student platforms, (Moodle etc.), but you receive any type of error message when trying to log in to myUCLCareers as a student, please contact our team via askUCL for support.
After your course has finished, your UCL single sign-on access to myUCLCareers through the 'Student sign in' button will stop working immediately, (and will display an error message if you try) but, you will still be able to sign in to myUCLCareers in a different way for up to three more years as a recent graduate as outlined below.
Logging in - recent UCL graduates
From the date that your course at UCL finishes, you will need to use the 'Alumni sign in' option to access your myUCLCareers profile and all UCL graduates will have continued access to careers support and your myUCLCareers account for up to three years after your course ends as detailed on our website.
When your old UCL user ID / password stops working via the student log in option highlighted above, you will be able to use any email address and a personal password, (not linked with your old UCL user ID), to continue logging in to myUCLCareers as and when needed.
To set up a new myUCLCareers password when signing in as a graduate for the first time, simply click the 'Alumni sign in' button and the 'Forgotten your password?' link and enter the email address which is currently linked to your myUCLCareers profile*.
“Important note: The default email that was set up with your myUCLCareers account when you were a student will have been your UCL email address but, specifically in the format of your 'email alias'* which was assigned to you by ISD when you joined UCL as detailed in their 'Connect to email' guidelines.
This is usually in the format: name.surname.yy@ ucl.ac.uk (where 'yy' is the year you first joined UCL as a student) as opposed to the 'userid@ ucl.ac.uk' format of your UCL email or your new UCL alumni 'email for life' address (but, all three of these address formats are linked with the same UCL email account and, you will still have access to emails sent to any of them as a graduate).
If entered correctly, you will immediately receive an automated email* with a secure link set up a new password so that you can log straight in. Once logged in, if you would prefer to link your myUCLCareers account to a different email address for logging in and receiving emails, you can do this by adding a personal email to your profile settings and making that your default preference.
Alternatively, if you are having problems accessing your UCL email and can't use that to receive the password reset instructions following the instructions above, you can instead link any personal email address to your myUCLCareers account by completing this short registration form, (ensuring that you include your old Student Number, 'SN', or UCL user ID), so that our team can update your myUCLCareers account to link with this preferred email address and send the secure link for creating a new password there.
*Note: If you'd already chosen to use a non-UCL address as your default for receiving myUCLCareers emails while you were a student, use that address instead for the alumni sign in / password reset. If not and you do not receive a password reset email using the UCL email format / alias described above, (remembering to check junk / trash folders), do also try your using UCL address in the format, 'ucluserid@ucl.ac.uk' instead (in case you weren't assigned an email alias by ISD as a student).
Also note, if you are already receiving event or job alerts by email from myUCLCareers, those emails will highlight the exact format of email address you need to use to sign in to myUCLCareers as a graduate.
If you are still having problems signing in to your myUCLCareers account though having finished your course, simply contact the UCL Careers team for support.
Logging in - research staff
If you are employed by UCL as a member of research staff, (including postdoctoral research staff/research assistants etc.), you will need to register your details with us to set up access to a myUCLCareers account.
Select the Research Staff button and you will have two options:
- For first time use, you will need to select the 'Register' option. All UCL staff have a UCL user ID and password issued by ISD as detailed on their website. When prompted to create a username for your myUCLCareers account, you MUST use your email address in the format: 'userid@ ucl.ac.uk' and then complete the other details on the registration form.
- Once you have received the email notification that your registration has been approved, click the 'Log in' button and use your standard UCL user ID and password to log in to your account.
- If you are experiencing any issues or have further questions about making best use of our services, please email our Researchers Team.
myUCLCareers - Research staff sign-in / registration
Other staff (departmental administrators and careers liaison / personal tutors)
If your role at UCL involves promoting specific services provided by UCL Careers to your students, and you feel it would be useful to be able to view things like our events calendar or jobs board or to be able to monitor the day to day appointment availability that your students have access to, you can request 'read only' access to myUCLCareers.
Simply email careers.info-team@ucl.ac.uk with your job title, UCL user-id and details of the type / groups of students, (level / discipline etc.), you work with and in what capacity and we will then email you when your account is ready to log in to via the 'Departmental Staff' button.
(Note: UCL staff members, (non-academic/professional services), seeking careers support for themselves will not be able to book anything through myUCLCareers but, our website highlights alternative sources of support).
