Overview

This article provides an overview and examples of the official login pages for University-supported applications and services. Some applications may also require Duo 2-Factor Authentication.

UIC Login Page

As of November 21, 2022, this is UIC's primary login page, used to access most university resources including Blackboard, Google Workspace, Box, the UIC Help Center, and LinkedIn Learning.

When accessing some applications, you will see a series of two distinct login pages.

  1. When encountering the first page, the URL in your browser's address bar should start with https://login.microsoftonline.com. Enter your full UIC email address then select Next.


     
  2. On this second page, the URL in your browser's address bar should start with https://sts.uic.edu. Enter your full UIC email address and password, then select Sign In.

 

Duo 2FA Login Page

Some university applications require the use of 2-Factor Authentication (2FA), powered by Duo. When accessing these applications, you will encounter the Duo Universal Prompt login page. This page will automatically send a prompt for your preferred method (i.e. Push, SMS), or you may request to use another option. For these pages, the URL in your browser's address bar should start with https://api-***.duosecurity.com.
