Net-ID and Account Management
UW-Whitewater students and employees are assigned a unique Net-ID. Your Net-ID functions as your username to access university technology resources.
- Students receive their Net-ID when they apply to the university.
- Employees receive their Net-ID when they are entered into the HR system. Once a Net-ID is created employees can start using campus services (e.g. email)
The first time you use your Net-ID, you will be prompted to answer security questions and will have to reset your password. Passwords expire every 180 days and you will receive email reminders to reset your password.
- To activate or reset your password, visit http://password.uw.edu
- For more information on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for WINS users, visit the MFA page on the Registrar Office's website.
