What is the Rutgers NetID?
The Rutgers “NetID” is a unique way for each person who studies at the University to be identified when connecting to the University by computer, either at school or at home. If you have been associated with Rutgers for some time you may have also heard the NetID called a “user name”—the user name associated with your Rutgers email address. The NetID serves to identify your “user account” on the Rutgers computers, and it’s that account you use for e-mail and other services offered by Rutgers Computing Services (RUCS). For example, if your Rutgers email address is henryrutgers@eden.rutgers.edu, then your NetID would be henryrutgers. RU Net ID Every student is required to obtain a University Net ID. With a Net ID you are able to access web based applications and to receive electronic communication from academic and administrative units. If you have not established a Net ID or University email account, log onto http://oit.rutgers.edu/services/account/quick.
