CruzID

Your unique and essential UCSC account, sometimes referred to as your username, that gives you access to many campus services and systems. Every student, faculty, and staff member receives a CruzID when they are hired or enrolled. Your CruzID is part of your UCSC email address (e.g., bslug@ucsc.edu), where “bslug” is the CruzID.

  • Use CruzID Manager to manage your campus notifications, emergency contacts, and passwords
  • Your CruzID remains the same throughout your time at UCSC while you’re actively enrolled or employed at UC Santa Cruz
