Many distant students, faculty, and staff may not make regular use of their UARK email accounts.  If you have never activated your account, go to the new user page on PASSweb2.

Unfortunately, this system works only with the campus uark.edu user names and passwords. If you have forgotten your UARK username and password, see the next section for help with retrieving them.

PASSweb2 allows you to set up a reminder question and answer.  If you don't have a reminder question and answer, or if you have forgotten the question and answer:
