Requesting access to WordPress


July 26, 2012

A two-step process to request access to the McGovern Medical School WordPress Content Management System:

  1. Visit med.uth.edu/register and fill out the Registration for Website Access.
    1. Enter your first and last name in the appropriate fields
    2. Open the dropdown menu under Website you wish to edit to select a website
    3. Enter your UTHealth email address
    4. Enter your UTHealth User ID (this is not your Employee ID number)
    5. Enter the first and last name of the person from your department granting authority (this should be your DMO)
    6. Enter that person’s email address
    7. Press Submit
    8. Within 24 to 48 hours of submission, we will attempt to verify that you have been granted access from your DMO.
  2. Attend a two-hour training course led by the Office of Communications

Upon completion of these two steps, you will receive an automated email from the system with a username, password, and login URL. You will be able to log in to the system with that username and password, then you should update the password immediately. The Office of Communications cannot access passwords, so please store it safely.

Items to remember

  • Please remember to never share your password. You will be held liable for any/all representation through your username/password access.
  • Always Log Out after your update process is complete.
  • If you are off campus, the login system will only work if you are using a VPN service that connects to UTHealth. Please contact your assigned IT technician if you have any questions about the VPN service.
