The NetID allows campus users to connect to many UM systems and applications with the same login and password.
The NetID format is two letters (first initial, last initial) and six numbers (e.g. "ab123456"). An “e” on the end indicates that it is an employee (e.g. "ab123456e") NetID. The initial password is the last six digits of the University ID (the 790 number).
Access to the following systems is available by using the NetID and password:
Obtaining the NetID
The NetID is displayed in CyberBear under the Personal Information Section (see following instructions) and may also be obtained at OneStop by clicking on "What is my NetID?"
Sign on to CyberBear
A person who is both a student and employee will have both NetIDs displayed. One is for student related purposes and one is for employee related purposes and they will activate and deactivate based upon those specific statuses.
University services accessed via the NetID and password are offered to all current employees and also to students once they apply to The University of Montana. The NetID and password are activated/deactivated for each group as follows:
Current University of Montana employees may access university services via their NetID as long as their employment status is active in the Banner system. Deactivation occurs once a termination date is entered into the Banner system. University retirees have lifetime access to their University email account and address (does not include other NetID-accessible services). However, retirees must complete a form (available at IT Central) to activate these services.
GrizMail accounts and other University services accessed via the NetID are provided to students once they apply to UM. These accounts remain active until the 3rd week of the semester following a student's final semester.
