Follow the directions below to change your NetID password.

NetID - Modifying your Account

If you have not changed your NetID password by March 2007, your password will be changed for you, and you will not be able to use your NetID and the resources it protects until you have reset your password.

Please call the Help Desk at 264-HELP (4357) for assistance changing your NetID password. The Help Desk cannot change NetID passwords via email.
