Activate Your NetID
You must activate your NetID before using it. Activation is a one-time process, as long as you are continuously enrolled/employed at the university. (However, if you take a semester off and come back, you must reactivate your NetID.)
- Submit your R-number (student) or employee number (faculty and staff) and birth year and month (YYMM) to begin the activation sequence. R-number lookup is available through ePAWS.
- R-number Example: R0000000001
- Employee Number Example: E123456999
- Birth Date Example (mm/dd/yyyy): 01/08/1980 (for January 8, 1980)
- All NetID accounts are governed by the Computing and Network Use Agreement.
- If you have trouble activating your NetID or would like to apply for one, contact the Help Desk on IT's unified help line (775) 682-5000 (on campus, dial 25000).
