NetID

What is a NetID?

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:

• GrizMail (students only)
• Blackboard
• OneStop
• Remote library resources
• Wireless
• VPN
• IT computer labs
