NetID & Password

Your Network ID (NetID) is a network login assigned to you that is unique across all University of Illinois campuses. It serves as your login to many University computing and networking services.

Your NetID is the part of your e-mail address before the @ symbol. For example, if your email address were jdoe123@uis.edu, your NetID would be jdoe123. Your NetID has a password associated with it, this password is commonly called your NetID password. It may also be referred to as your Active Directory password.
