WHAT:
Your ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºNetID is your key to accessing ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºservices — from accepting your admission offer to registering for classes. It will also be used to create your ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºemail address: You’ll just add @uw.edu.
Once you set up your NetID, it can’t be changed, so pick something you’ll want to use for all purposes, for many years to come!
HOW:
After you applied for admission, you received an email invitation to create a ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºNetID. Follow the instructions in that email. If you are a ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºin the High School student, Foster applicant who took the WSA, Cascadia student or ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºemployee, you likely already have a ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºNetID and will need to use to join your existing account to your application rather than create a new one.
Note: The instructions on this page are only for students who applied online to the Seattle campus of the UW.
