Tip: If you get an error that your information doesn’t match, try entering the preferred name
that you put on your application.
All students and employees choose a username based on first and last name.
The username format is: firstname.lastname. However you may use a nickname or first initial
for your first name portion.
Examples:
• brutusthe.bulldog
• brutus.bulldog
• b.bulldog
Note: By default, your last name will appear in the gray box.
Create Password
Choose your password according to the security requirements.
For security purposes, passwords must comply with the following requirements:
• must be at least 8 characters long
• must contain a variation of at least 3 of the following: lowercase letters, uppercase letters,
numbers, and/or symbols:
` ~ ! $ ^ & *( ) _ + – = { }| [ ] : ” ; < > ? .
• may not contain any part of your real name or NetID username, or be a variation of those
names.
Note: All NetID passwords expire every 120 days, so it is important that you reset your password on
a regular basis.
