Campus IDs

All campus community members should have two IDs:

1. Charger ID (or UID) – this is your primary campus ID and serves as the base of your official uah.edu email. Typically the format consists of your initials followed by a 4 digit sequence number (e.g., 0001). Your Charger ID is used to sign onto ChargerMail, ChargerNet, and ChargerPost.
2. Banner ID (or "A" number) – this will be located on your Charger ID card. This is used to sign into Self-Service Banner.

Accessing Self-Service Banner

Self-Service Banner is entirely web-based and accessible via any of the major browsers. The URL to connect is http://register.uah.edu.
To sign on, click on the option entitled "Enter Banner Self-Service." You will be promoted for your User ID (this is your Banner ID or "A" Number) and PIN.
Note: The "A" listed in your user id is case sensitive and must be entered in upper case or your login will fail.

New Students: Your default PIN will be your birth date (MMDDYY). The first time you successfully log in, you will be prompted to change your password. Select and enter a new one that is six (6) numbers in length. Additionally, the first time you sign on, you will be prompted to provide a security question and corresponding answer. This is used in the event that your PIN is forgotten and needs to be reset. Please use a question that only you know and will remember the answer to. Your answer is case sensitive, so keep this in mind when you type in the response.

Returning Students: Your user id and PIN will remain active.
