What will I use my NetID for besides logging into email?
You will use your NetID and password if you log into the myGW portal or the Blackboard, Acad, or Research2 systems; if you use the GWireless network, the Virginia Campus computer labs, or the VPN; if you want to administer a LISTSERV distribution list or download certain software from the ISS Help Desk web site. You will need to have a NetID before you can set up a G1 account to use the computer labs and classrooms maintained by Academic Technologies, and your G1 account, though technically a separate account, will usually have the same ID and password as your NetID account. This is not a comprehensive list—these are merely some examples of places where the NetID is required.
