BYU-Idaho students and employees

must change username to Net-ID

 

 

            Students and employees at Brigham Young University-Idaho have until Nov. 1 to change their current username to a new Net-ID to access campus computers.

            Users may obtain their new Net-ID online by visiting www.byui.edu/netid.

            Government privacy regulations require two different private, non-published, electronic identifiers for access to confidential information. Presently, username and e-mail identifiers are the same at BYU-Idaho.

            Students and employees will need the new Net-ID and a password to gain access to the campus computer network and the Internet. The Net-ID change is required for Winter Semester registration. E-mail addresses will not change. 

            The change will result in a secured campus identification process coupled with increased access to Church Educational System resources and computer systems.

           

A few items to be aware of:

 

If employees are unable to get a successful indicator that you created a new Net-ID, you will need to contact Personnel to resolve the issue. Students should contact the registrar’s office for help.

 

If you do get an indication of successful Net-ID creation, do the following:

1. Log off

2. Wait 5 minutes

3. Log in

NOTE: Those using Blackboard might experience up to 30 minutes of delay as the new Net-ID synchronizes.

 

In order to distribute the workload of creating the new Net-ID, we recommend the following building order and dates be used by employees:

Oct 11 - Kimball second floor

Oct 12 - Health Center

Oct 13 - Kimball first floor

Oct 14 - Radio Graphics and Housing head residents/support personnel
