NetID Management

These self-help tools allow for management of your NetID, as well as other NetID services.

Students, faculty, staff members, retirees, faculty emeriti, and certain guests each use a NetID. Your valid NetID and password allows access to TU’s computing services.

By spring 2025, everyone with a TU NetID will be required to authenticate using Duo when accessing TU systems. Students not yet using Duo can opt in using the "Enroll/manage Duo devices" link below or be auto-enrolled by the university sometime between Feb. 18 - April 30. Learn more at towson.edu/duoproject.
