1. DCE (Distributed Computing Environment)
   • This login is used for Athena Email, UofLnet Remote Account and off-campus access to Libraries’ Electronic Resources (e-journals, databases, etc.) That is, your ID and password to all these accounts are the same.
   • Every UofL employee or registered student has a DCE login.
   • This login is created by the Information Technology (IT) Department when a new employee starts working at UofL. The user should change the initial password after first use.
   • Should you forget your DCE password, contact OLT (Library faculty or staff only, see Team membership list for individuals who can reset DCE password) or take a picture ID to any UofL Computing Center to reset your password

   • Open the browser of your choice, either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to http://hal.louisville.edu/viewPaycheckStub/setupPaycheckSearch.cfm
   • Enter your seven-digit Employee ID and PIN. If you have not attended classes at UofL since 1982 or have not used the Registrar’s Touch-Tone Registration System, your PIN has been set to your date of birth in mmddyy format; otherwise, your PIN is the same as that used to access Touch-Tone Registration.
   • Click the Submit button after entering your Employee ID and PIN. The next panel you see lists the Check Number, Status, Date, and Employee Name for all paychecks on file. Each of the fields is a “hot link”. Click on the Number, Status, Date, or Employee Name of the check that you wish to display. You may click the Print button on your browser to obtain a hard copy.
