  4. On the "AMS User Search" page, enter your search criteria and click "Submit".

    Note: You may enter any combination of valid search terms in the available fields, including partial expressions (e.g., first three letters of last name, first letter of first name, partial HHSID).

    • Entries are not case sensitive
    • Entering more information limits the number of matching records returned by your search (e.g., complete first and last name)
    • Entering less information returns broader results (e.g., last name only)
    • Entering a complete HHSID will return a single matching record
    • Entering a complete AMS username will return a single matching record
