How login credentials are issued

Your login details are created by UDSM. You do not choose them freely at first.

For most users the username is linked to a registration number or staff identifier. The initial password is either system generated or issued during admission or employment onboarding.

You are expected to change the password after first use. Many login issues happen because this step is skipped or forgotten.

Typical credential structure

• Username based on student registration number or staff ID
• Initial password provided by UDSM
• Mandatory password change after first login

Example
A student logs in using a registration number and a temporary password received during enrollment then sets a new password.

How to log in correctly

To avoid errors follow a simple process. Do not rush.

Open the official ARIS 3 portal provided by UDSM. Use a modern browser. Enter your username exactly as issued. Avoid extra spaces. Enter your password carefully. Passwords are case sensitive.

If you recently changed your password make sure you are not using the old one. If login fails once stop and review before retrying multiple times.

Repeated failed attempts can lock the account.

Common reasons login fails

Most access problems are basic. They are not system faults.

• Expired password
• Incorrect username format
• Caps Lock enabled
• Browser auto filling old credentials
• Account locked after failed attempts

Example
You changed your password last semester but your browser still submits the old one.

Password rules you must follow

UDSM enforces password standards. If your password does not meet them it will be rejected even if you believe it is correct.

Common rules include length complexity and restricted reuse. Avoid simple words names or dates. Do not reuse older passwords.

Choose something secure but memorable to you.

What to do if you forgot your password

If you cannot remember your password do not guess. Use the official recovery process.

Most users can reset through a linked recovery option or must contact the UDSM ICT support unit. The system does not allow third party resets.

Prepare your identification details before requesting help.

Information you may need

• Registration number or staff ID
• Official UDSM email address
• Valid identification

Example
A student contacts ICT support with a registration number and receives a reset link through the university email.

Security practices you should follow

Your account gives access to academic records. Treat it carefully.

Do not share your password. Do not log in from public computers without logging out. Change your password if you suspect exposure.

These habits prevent access issues later.

Using the system after successful login

Once inside ARIS 3 check your profile details first. Confirm your email and contact information. This helps with future recovery.

Log out properly after each session. Especially on shared devices.
