Overview

NetID is the handle of your email address, for example, your NetID will be "rockythebull" if your email address is rockythebull@usf.edu. NetID and USF Email Activation is a process that allows you to choose and create your NetID and Email at USF.

Once you have chosen and created your NetID and email, they will be associated with your identity forever. However, access to USF Digital Assets is dependent on your active affiliation(s) with the university (i.e. student and/or employee).

The user is also informed that it may take up to 1 hour for activation to complete, that is, other USF systems may not be updated to accept this NetID for access for perhaps another hour (the time should be sorter than this but that's a nice round time to inform the user of.)

    And that is the simplified NetID activation process.
