NETID: In order to get started with Extension and get access to resources you’ll need a University issued netid. A netid is your unique identifier for authentication and authorization to all kinds of services across the University, from email to cloud storage to computer logins. Your netid will always be the prefix to your University of Illinois email address, so your account will be [netid]@illinois.edu.

You can get help with you netid, netid password, or be prompted to remember your netid here: https://identity.uillinois.edu
