´óÏó´«Ã½

Accounts & Access

Your ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID is the account name you use to log in to many of the systems you will utilize in your daily life at the University. It is part of your official ´óÏó´«Ã½ e-mail address (e.g., ´óÏó´«Ã½NetID@fau.edu). ´óÏó´«Ã½ uses single sign-on for most applications. This means that you will use the same ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID and password for most of the applications offered to you as a student, faculty member, and/or staff member.

´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID Activation

---

If you are a new user, prior to logging in to any of ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s systems with your new ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID, you must activate your ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID by visiting the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Account Self-Services portal.Ìý

For detailed instructions, please read the How to Activate your ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID (pdf).

Note: Once you activate your ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the SMS feature in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Account Self-Service system. The SMS feature enables you to reset your forgotten password by using a verification code sent via SMS.

´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID Changes

---

Your original ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID (user name) is not subject to change. There are two exceptions: (1) if an error was made in the spelling of your name that affected the ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID assigned to you or (2) if you have legally changed your name (such as through marriage). Prior to changing your ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID, you must have had your legal name change recorded in the University database. To do this, faculty and staff must contact Human Resources; students must contact the Registrar’s Office. Once your name change has been officially entered, you may submit an ´óÏó´«Ã½Net ID Change request.

Retired Faculty

Retiring faculty are eligible to keep their ´óÏó´«Ã½ email address after leaving the University. The faculty member must make the request with Human Resources at the exit interview.
