What is a NetID?

Regardless of whether or not you need a UR or URMC Active Directory account, you will be provisioned with a NetID as well.  A NetID provides the ability to reset and manage all university related passwords through myIdentity Self Service. Provisioning a NetID aids in uninterrupted access to applications as applications transition from NetID authentication to AD authentication in the future.

How do I reset my password?

All university related passwords can be managed through myIdentity Self Service by logging in with your NetID and password.

What if I cannot remember my NetID and need to change my UR or URMC Active Directory account?

If you cannot remember your NetID, you can retrieve your NetID account name, by clicking  the Forgot NetID? link on the myIdentity Self Service login page and then inputting your URID and date of birth.  If you cannot remember your URID, please contact your sponsor.  Your URID is at the bottom center of your guest details page in the Guest Account System interface.

What if I cannot remember my URID?

If you cannot remember your URID, please contact your sponsor.  Your URID is at the bottom center of your guest details page in the Guest Account System interface.

What if my account is expired and my sponsor is not available?
