This is one of two student IDs you will get. This set of numbers is specific to you only. This number
will be on your Griz Card, which may be used for building access, borrowing privileges at the Mansfield Library, discounts to University events. When you meet with an advisor this is the number they will ask you for to help you schedule classes.

Net ID

This is one of two student IDs you will get. This is First Initial, Last Initial, and six numbers. This is a UM login credential that allows campus users to connect to many web-based systems and applications with the same login and password. Once your NetID is established it never changes.
