Net ID

What is "NetID"?

NetID formalizes what has been known generically as an individual’s “computer username” or “network account.” It is the username/password credentials used to login to a growing list of services:

  • Campus computers [faculty, staff and students]
  • Banner Admin
  • Brightspace
  • Library resources from off-campus
  • Microsoft Office 365 [faculty, staff and student email]
  • SUNY web-based services [employee portal, DegreeWorks, etc.]
  • SUNY Canton secured wireless network
  • UCanWeb

Your Password

  • Never give out passwords. Emails requesting/demanding a reply with your username and password are phishing emails sent with the intent to steal your login credentials.
  • Is set with an initial default password at the time an account is created.
  • It is strongly recommended passwords are changed often and are complex in nature. See Microsoft's Tips for Creating a Strong Password.

The default user password for students is set using the following individual information:

  • Student’s 2 digit day of birth
  • The first 3 letters (first letter capitalized) of the student’s month of birth
  • The last 4 digits of student’s SUNY Canton Banner ID, i.e., student identification number

For example, if your birthday is February 1 and your Banner ID (student identification number) number is 123456789, your password would be 01Feb6789. Please note that passwords are case-sensitive. If you need help logging on to your Brightspace course, contact the SUNY Canton Help Desk at (315) 386-7448.
