About Your NYU NetID

All NYU faculty and staff members, as well as students enrolled in degree or diploma programs, are provided with an NYU NetID (Network IDentification). Your NetID is a combination of your initials and a few random numbers, e.g., aqe123, and is usually printed on the back of your NYUCard. It is different from your University ID, which is also printed on your NYUCard, but is a longer string of numbers and starts with an "N".

Once activated (see below), your NetID provides access to authorized NYU online services and applications via desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices, including end user devices such as laptops. Your NetID is also used to create your default NYU Email address (e.g., aqe123@nyu.edu).

About Your NetID Password

Your NetID password is not the same as your NYU Google Apps password; see the ServiceLink knowledge base for details. You are required to reset your NetID NYU password at least once each year; NYU Google Apps passwords do not currently have an annual reset policy. Both passwords can be set or reset via the NYU Start page. See NetID password requirements and security tips for more information.
