Changing a NetID (e.g. 'jdoe' to 'jsmith') is strongly discouraged due to the effect on services/applications that use that value as the account name for each person (e.g. Google, PeopleAdmin). Normally, changing a NetID actually creates a new NetID for the same identity and preserves old one too. The person can then login with either NetID value with the same password, depending on which NetID(s) the service they are connecting to allows. If specifically requested, the old NetID can be removed; however, the person risks: As the windows domains (e.g. fastmail) are consolidated, Windows-IDs will match the NetID, so requests to change a NetID will also change corresponding Windows-ID. Requests for changes to one's NetID are to be submitted to idm-help@usf.edu including supporting evidence of one of the following: Acceptance of the responsibility for determining and coordinating any account changes in each of the USF services/applications accessed via the NetID value, e.g. Windows-Domain, MS-Exchange, GoogleApps, Parking. Failure to coordinate the change with a service-provider can lead to loss of access and/or data (associated with the previous NetID).This article contains frequently asked questions and answers for NetID
