Questions? Get Help

Your NetID username and password is found in the SOLAR System. This important identifier is used to access many of the University's computing services such as:

  • Blackboard
  • Library Databases
  • Online File Storage (MySBfiles and MySite)
  • Wireless Internet (AirNet)
  • Dial-in Services and VPN
  • Administrative Shares
  • Computer Labs (SINC Sites) and Printing

NetID Maintenance is the link in SOLAR that allows you to:

  • Find out what your NetID is
  • Establish and change your NetID password
  • Set a security question
  • Test your NetID password to make sure it is working properly

You must set a NetID security question which you will be asked whenever it is time to change your NetID password. NetID passwords expire every six months. Make sure you pick a question and answer that is easy to remember. Keep in mind that whenever you change your NetID password in SOLAR, it takes 15 minutes to take effect.
