New Hire Guide

Hello and welcome!

We are so excited for you to be a part of our team at the Institute for Immunology and Immune Health! Below is a helpful guide with your onboarding process.

You should begin receiving emails from Penn’s Information Systems & Computing (ISC) with instructions to set up your PennKey and enroll in two-step verification, as well as from Workday@Penn with initial onboarding tasks.

Here’s some key info to keep handy:

  • PennID and PennKey: These are unique identifiers tied to your employment at the University. They are essential for setting up system access and gaining building entry. Once finalized, please keep a record of these for onboarding and future reference.
    • PennID #: [Insert when available]
    • PennKey: [Insert when available]


Please note the passwords you use for each system will be different. Pennkey should be the first password you create and will not change. Your PMACS password is identical to your UPHS passwordYou will use your Penn Medicine email address as your username for accessing email on Outlook and use the Microsoft tools available in Penn Medicine O365

Penn Directory: Update your information in the Penn Directory.

Dashlane password manager is provided free for faculty and staff and can help keep track of your password management.

Once your PennID and PennKey are finalized, see below for a more in-depth onboarding process.
