PIN Information

Change your PIN now!

Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are issued to all students, faculty, and staff for the purpose of accessing some web-based applications such as UARK username pick-up and PASSweb.

Your PIN's initial value is set to the month and day (mmdd) of your birthday. For example, if your birthday is May 6, your initial PIN is 0506.

Your PIN must be changed from your birthday to use it for web-based functions.

Note: PINs must be exactly four digits and contain numbers only.

How do I change my PIN?

 

You can change your PIN using the web-based facility referenced below.
PLEASE NOTE: Changing your PIN and having your PIN RESET are two different things. You can use the web to CHANGE your PIN, but you must contact the appropriate personnel to have your PIN reset. (See, "What if I forget my PIN" below).

Use the web-based PIN Change Facility to change your PIN.

Please note that the web-based PIN change system will issue an automated email upon change of a PIN, notifying the PIN owner that their PIN was changed. If you receive such a message without having changed your own PIN, follow the instructions on the email immediately to ensure the integrity of your PIN.


What if I forget my PIN?

 

  • If you are faculty or staff, go to your department's Leave Administrator (usually your department's secretary). He/she can use the DIRM function of the BASIS Leave Application to reset your PIN to its original value, i.e., mmdd. After the Leave Administrator has reset your PIN, use the web-based PIN Change Facility as soon as possible to change your PIN to some unique value known only to you (four digits).
  • If you are a student, go to the Registrar's Office to have your PIN reset to its original value, i.e., mmdd. After your PIN has been reset, use the PIN Change Facility as soon as possible to change your PIN to some unique value known only to you (four digits).

Once you have changed your PIN and know what it is, you will be able to use web-based functions including UARK account pick-ups, and reset/changes.
