This is where you ACTIVATE your UCSBnetID. Your NetID will be your login credentials to just about every other system on campus (with a few exceptions). You may also reset your password and update your directory listing here. The complete campus directory is available online here: https://www.ucsb.edu/directory 

Many of our services require that you enroll in UCSB’s MFA system. To enroll, visit the above link and enroll via Push Notification.

UCSB uses Google for their email and collaboration services. Once your UCSBNetID is activated, your email will be YourUCSBNetID@ucsb.edu with YourUCSBNetID being the UCSBNetID you selected. To logon, your credentials will be:

yourUCSBNetID@ucsb.edu
yourPassword

If a departmental email is issued, both email addresses will reach the same inbox. You will also have access to Google’s G Suite which includes calendar services, collaboration tools and more. For more information, visit https://www.it.ucsb.edu/email-messaging-and-collaboration/connect-google-workspace-education 

  • Internet Access (Wireless)

Log on to the campus wireless network, “eduroam” using your NetID and password in this format: 

yourUCSBnetID@ucsb.edu
yourpassword

If another higher education institution is also using eduroam, you will be able to connect to their network as well. If you prefer to have a wired internet connection, it must be requested by sending your computer’s MAC address and your office to hasc-it@hfa.ucsb.edu.

For a full guide on how to connect with your device, please visit our “How to connect to eduroam” guide.
