Activating Accounts

In order to activate your account, you must have an activation code or a valid social security and date of birth in the system. Sometimes activation code emails fail to send, in this case, you must reset the your NetID password.

  1. Activate your NetID by going to the NetID management page and selecting Activate NetID.

  2. Then fill out the sections with your NetID where is says Enter Your NetID.

  3. Once you enter your NetID, you will be able to be see Activate Using Activation Code, and Alternative Activation Methods.

If you do not have an activation code, please contact the ITS Technology Support Center in order to activate your NetID account.

Setting Recovery Options

A forgotten password is a common occurrence when dealing with NetID passwords.  To allow for easy password resets, Password Recovery Options need to be set up.  We recommend setting at least 1 of the 2 options:

  1. Navigate to NetID site.

  2. Hover your cursor over NetID Tools at the top of the page, and then click the third option down, Set Password Recovery Options.

Secondary Email 

  1. Enter a personal email address because we require the NetID password to access both Exchange and Gmail) in the Secondary Email Address field, and click Save Changes.

  2. Log in to the email account provided and open the email from netid@uconn.edu. The email will provide a verification code, copy or write this down.

  3. Enter the Verification code into the field provided on the NetID website and click Submit, this will complete the process.

NetID passwords can be reset at any time if password recovery options have been set up.

If you have not forgotten your NetID password and only intend to change the password, see Changing Your NetID Password.
