Why would a person have Multiple NetIDs?

A person can be affiliated to UW-Madison from multiple sources (for example, someone who is a student and an employee). This opens up the ability for the user to activate more than one NetID. For example, a Student Employee can have two NetIDs, one of which is associated with their student identity and the other with their employee identity.

Below are instructions for you to verify that you own the two NetIDs in question. 

1. Log in to the Multiple NetID Verification tool with the first NetID 

Visit https://www.mynetid.wisc.edu/mnt and log in through NetID Login.

2. Log in to the second NetID

Verify the first NetID information is what you expect for the first NetID, and then log in with the second NetID:

Note: Click on the "Account Recovery" link if you need to recover your second NetID or Password.

3. Wait for support staff to reach out to you for next steps.
