The University-wide ID comprises an ID and password provided to each member of the University, which improves the convenience, reliability and safety of their use of information services within the University. Staff and students are issued with a SSO-KID. External part-time teaching staff and contract staff, etc., can be issued with an SSO-KID on application.

The University-wide ID gives access to a wide range of University information services.

In addition, by using their SSO-KID and matrix code for multi-factor authentication, staff can access highly secure services from outside the University. Please refer to the site below for information on services available through SSO-KID and matrix code authentication, as well as instructions on how to use the matrix code.

For example, “Academic Information System (Web system)” allows you to download a course roster and register academic results from outside the campus.
