Details
All current Dartmouth faculty, staff and students have a Dartmouth Account with a corresponding user name (NetID) and password. Your user name (NetID) and password are what identifies you on the Dartmouth network and allows you to authenticate in order to access your email and other systems
Incoming students are issued their Dartmouth NetID in mid-May. An email is sent to the personal email address used during the Dartmouth application process with information about how to setup their Dartmouth account. Students who were accepted in previous years but deferred their attendance have their previous NetID reactivated.
Anyone returning to Dartmouth will have their previous account reactivated and they will use their original NetID. It may be necessary to reset the password that was on the original account.
As a responsible member of the Dartmouth community, it is critical you maintain the security of your account. If someone obtains your user name and password, they can log into systems that do not require an additional authentication step for access as if they were you. If you think someone is using your password or that your account may be compromised, you should update your password immediately.
