Accounts & Access
The Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID for your Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account is assigned to you by Â鶹ŮÀÉ. It is part of your official Â鶹ŮÀÉ email address (e.g., Â鶹ŮÀÉNetID@fau.edu or Â鶹ŮÀÉNetID@health.fau.edu). Â鶹ŮÀÉ uses single sign-on for most applications. This means that you will use the same credentials for most of the applications offered to you as a student, faculty member, and/or staff member.
Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account Activation
If you are a new user, prior to logging in to any of Â鶹ŮÀÉ's systems, you must activate your Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account by visiting the Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account Self-Services portal.Ìý
STUDENTS
A student’s Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account is generated upon admission to Â鶹ŮÀÉ. The Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID is provided to you in your acceptance letter with instructions on how to activate your account.
FACULTY & STAFF
Faculty and staff accounts are generated when the onboarding process has been completed within Workday. You will receive an e-mail notification with your Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID and instructions on how to activate your account.
For detailed instructions, please read the How to Activate your Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account (pdf).
Note: Once you activate your Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the SMS feature in the Â鶹ŮÀÉ Account Self-Service system. The SMS feature enables you to reset your forgotten password by using a verification code sent via SMS.

Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID Changes
Your original Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID (user name) is not subject to change. There are two exceptions: (1) if an error was made in the spelling of your name that affected the Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID assigned to you or (2) if you have legally changed your name (such as through marriage). Prior to changing your Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID, you must have had your legal name change recorded in the University database. To do this, faculty and staff must contact Human Resources; students must contact the Registrar’s Office. Once your name change has been officially entered, you may submit an Â鶹ŮÀÉNet ID Change request.

Retired Faculty
Retiring faculty are eligible to keep their Â鶹ŮÀÉ email address after leaving the University. The faculty member must make the request with Human Resources at the exit interview.
