• NetID and Password

  What's is the NetID?

  The NetID allows campus users to connect to many online 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).

  You will also use your NetID to log into campus computers and the campus wireless internet (UMWpa).

  Applications that use NetID and password: 

  • UMConnect (Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ only)
  • CyberBear
  • Remote library resources
  • UM Online Moodle
  • Wireless
  • VPN

  What is my student email address?

  You can find your student email address two ways:
