The NSHE ID provides a system-wide unique identifier for each student, faculty and staff member within the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).
Students, faculty and staff will be issued a system-wide unique NSHE ID. The NSHE ID will provide continuity and security for individuals when dealing with system-wide issues. However, while at UNR, an individuals' UNR NetID be the primary unique identifier and used to log in to MyNEVADA and many other online services.
More detailed information is available by selecting the "What is an NSHE ID (MyNEVADA)?" announcement on this page or from the About MyNEVADA blogsite.
The MyNEVADA website will eventually provide a one-stop package of tools for faculty, staff and students to access and manage their University "lives".
At the present time (Fall 2011) only the student portion of the website has been activated. Students will use MyNEVADA instead of ePAWS. Student can currently search for a class, register, check financial aid, view academic history and pay tuition. In the near future, new features, including grades, degree audits and getting transcripts will be available.
A UNR NetID grants access to a variety of computer-based resources at the University. Each NetID is tied to an individual. Persons having more than one status (student employee, etc) will have only one UNR NetID which will allow access to appropriate resources.
