Information Technology
Internet and E-mail Accounts
During the time students are affiliated with Northwestern
University, they will use many electronic services. E-mail,
viewing online transcripts, and communicating with friends
and faculty via e-mail are a few of these electronic services.
To offer these services in a secure fashion, we will issue
you a network identifier (NetID) and a password. Whenever
an online system wishes to authenticate access to personal
records or services, students will be asked to provide their
NetID and current password. In order to obtain a NetID, students
will need to present a WildCARD [their student ID] or a valid
photo ID at a University Information Technology Help Desk**,
which will give access to student records, e-mail, Voyager
(the University Library's online catalog), and the Internet.
Even if students already have an e-mail account they will
need a NU NetID to gain access to student records and to some
of the University's library resources.
**In Evanston students should go to the NUIT Support Center
in Kresge Hall, 1880 Campus Drive, Rm. 1-435; 847-491-HELP(4357).
