EPIC
UMMC has recently implemented new EPIC security protocols. We were told that in order to keep EPIC accounts active, students should try to login in one time every 90 days. If you do not login, the UMMC Helpdesk will deactivate your account.
If your account is deactivated, contact studentaffairs@som.umaryland.edu. We will have you sign a new form and send it to the UMMC Helpdesk. Once the form is sent to the Helpdesk, it may take a few days to process.
