A Dartmouth NetID is a unique 7 character sequence of letters and numbers that identifies an account. Dartmouth faculty, staff, students automatically have a netid created for them when they are hired or matriculate as a student. Alumni retain the netid they had as a student. There can be only one netid per person so if a person transitions out, then back into the college at a later date, the original netid will be reactivated and used for the account.
New netid's for non-person accounts, or people who do work for the college but are not staff nor students, need to request an account.
