READ FOR FUN over spring break! (posted: March 11, 2008)

If you are in the Tufts directory, then you are entitled to a UTLN and password. If you do not have a UTLN and password or you do not know it please take the time to obtain this information. Click UTLN for more information on what the UTLN is.

With UTLN and password as our new authentication method you will have to login much less to access remote resources and you will no longer have to use your Tufts ID for access.
