NetID:

For student, your NetID is written as BannerID@student.commnet.edu. Banner ID is your student ID granted after you are admitted to the college. Your Banner ID can be found on all of your official school documents.  It is the number that begins with an  @ sign followed by 8 numbers.  It should look something like this: @01234567. You can also get help on how to find your Banner ID number by contacting the Records Office in Room 153, Founder's Hall, 860-343-5724. For example, if your student ID is @01234567, then your NetID is written as 01234567@student.commnet.edu.

Password:

Your NetID password is the same password you may have used when you logon to a campus computer at any of 12 Connecticut community colleges. This password expires every 90 days. The password is more than 8-character in length*. If you have never logged on to a campus computer, the initial password is the combination of your first 3 letters of birth month (capitalize the first letter) and last four digit of your social security number.

For example, if you are born in April and the last four digits of your social security number are 4575, then your initial password is Apr&4575 (case sensitive).

After you logon with the initial password, you will be prompted to change to a new password.  The new password MUST have 8 or more characters and satisfy 3 of the 4 rules as follows:

• Upper case
• Lower case
• Numbers
• Special characters
  

One example of a new password is Flower07 (case sensitive). Remember; do not use your name or birthday in the new password.
