NetID and Email
All instructors receive a free network-services account (NetID).
The official communication tool for Northwestern University
is email. Therefore, as a condition of employment with SCS,
you must maintain an active Northwestern email account. Your
email account also provides internet access to the university's
on-line library databases, the internet, the Blackboard system,
and, importantly, other University network services including
grading and access to enrollment numbers and rosters.
A NetID is first assigned after instructors are hired by SCS and NU Human Resources has received and processed your contract and hiring paperwork. You will receive an email from Lorraine Brown Thomas, who coordinates payroll at SCS, containing your Net ID and instructions on its activation and password setup. You then activate your NetID by accessing the NUIT website from any computer, at the page http://www.northwestern.edu/facstafflogin.
When this process is complete, you may access NU network resources.
Please direct questions about NetID activation to the NUIT Support Center at (847) 491-HELP (4357) or email consultant@northwestern.edu.
Faculty are given network access for the duration of the
teaching assignment. To retain access, faculty must teach
continuously for SCS. If you have
taught for SCS but have been off for at least one term, you
will need to re-activate
your NetID to be able to use email, post grades, and use
network services. Contact NUIT Support ((847) 491-4357)
to reactivate your NetID.
If a non-Northwestern email account is your primary email,
you may choose to forward your Northwestern email to your
primary email account. For this service, go to the website
http://snap.it.northwestern.edu/it/mailtools, and select "Turn
on mail forwarding".
