Account Self-Linking - How to Connect Your Accounts

This document explains how to use the Account Self-Linking Tool.

Why Should I Connect My Accounts?

Connecting your accounts helps eliminate duplicate records and, more importantly, ensures that you have the appropriate and expected level of access to systems on campus. For example, if you can see your HR and payroll data or you can see your Teaching tab in the portal.

You should have received an email or a printout that contains instructions on how to connect your accounts together as well as a Linking Key.

How To Connect Your Accounts:

  1. Navigate to the Account Self-Linking Tool

  2. You should see the Campus NetID Login screen. Enter in your NetID and password.

If the identity information shown is not yours, please click Cancel and contact the Help Desk about this issue, and provide them with the self-link key and NetID. If you do not know the key, just let them roughly what time you tried it.

    Note: A DoIT Help Desk case will be automatically opened on your behalf when there is an issue linking your accounts. You should receive a response within a few days with more information. If you'd like, you can keep track of your case number (the number in parentheses) and if you contact the DoIT Help Desk and give them that number, they'll be able to let you know the status of your case.
