New Student First Semester
Find Your JHED Login ID (LID)
The first step in initiating your JHED account is to determine your JHED Login ID. You can find your Login ID or LID by performing a lookup on yourself. This can be achieved by going to http://myep.jhu.edu, entering your name in the Search box at the top-right of the screen, and clicking Go.
If you find your name in the JHED Search Results screen, you may click your name to view detailed information about yourself. If you are logging in from a campus computer, your JHED Login ID or LID will be displayed near the top of the detail screen.
If you cannot conveniently get to a campus computer at one of our education centers, have access but cannot find yourself in the directory you must call the HITS Help Desk at 410.516.HELP for assistance.
Special APL Employee Information: APL staff, whose records are initially suppressed from view must call the APL Faculty/Staff Help Desk at 443.778.1422 or email Tracy.Gauthier@jhuapl.edu to determine your JHED ID. Please note that the APL Faculty/Staff Help Desk cannot update your information in JHED.
Log Into JHED For The First Time
Once you have located your Login ID you can login to the JHED system and initialize your account. 
From the http://myep.jhu.edu screen, click the New Visitor or the First Time JHED user link in the upper left hand corner. You may also click the First Time JHED user link under Need Help. You will then be taken to the First Time JHED user screen. Enter your Login ID in the box. The first time login to the JHED system requires that you verify your identity and setup your account.
You will be asked for your social security number and date of birth (Note: APL employees will be asked for their employee ID# instead). That information will then be verified and you will be asked to choose a new password, Secret Question and Secret Answer. Read the password requirements carefully before you decide on a password. The Secret Question and Answer will be used to create a new password should you ever forget your login password. If you list your email address in JHED, you may request that your secret question be emailed to you. You then will use your secret answer during the login process.
