ArcGIS logins

ArcGIS logins are created for new users by an administrator such as an instructor, or seminar-leader. ArcGIS login users receive an email invitation to the University of Colorado Boulder’s ArcGIS Organization and established their own ArcGIS account password.  ArcGIS login account usernames always end in _ucboulder and are typically formatted as first.last_ucboulder or identikey_ucboulder.

CU Boulder also offers Single Sign-On (SSO) Account logins for ArcGIS Online (AGOL) and ArcGIS Pro Desktop App (ArcPro). SSO accounts use your CU IdentiKey login credentials and do not have a separate username or password to remember. To use our own CU Boulder SSO Account, simply sign in to AGOL or ArcPro following the instructions below.
