May 2023 Note:
As of May 19, 2023: Due to emergent security concerns, logging into Cascade from off campus now requires UH-VPN to be installed and running Full‑VPN mode prior to login. Please review the UH-VPN options for your operating system by visiting the UIT page outlining VPN information, installation information, and full‑vpn.uh.edu settings for various platforms.

If you already have the UH VPN installed, you need not reinstall - simply disconnect and reconnect using "full-vpn.uh.edu" instead of vpn.uh.edu. In the bar which displays "vpn.uh.edu" type in: 'full-' in front of 'vpn.uh.edu'. For further discussion, see CMS FAQs.
 

Once you have been set up as a CMS user, logging in to the CMS can be as easy as 1–2–3.

Start by using your web browser to go to https://cms.uh.edu.
Important: See UH VPN notes above for more information about required authentication procedures to access the Cascade CMS login screen.

Login as follows:

1. For Username, enter your Cougarnet ID;
2. For Password, enter your Cougarnet password;
3. Click the "Login" button.

For general security reasons, please leave unselected any "Remember me" sort of option - especially if you are using a shared or publicly-accessible machine.
