At Rochester, there are systems you'll need to become familiar with in order to complete both your orientation program and your studies. Learn more about each of these platforms and how you'll use them during your time at Rochester.
The University currently uses three primary login accounts for its platforms and systems: NetID, Active Directory (AD), and Microsoft Entra ID. To help avoid confusion, we've listed what login credentials are used for each platform/system below.
As an incoming student, these accounts will be assigned to you once you officially enroll at the University.
Your NetID and Active Directory (AD) username should be the same: a combination of your first initial, last name, and a number.
Your Microsoft EntraID username will be your Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ email address, which should end in u.rochester.edu.
Communications
Your student Gmail account is where you'll receive all official communications from the University, including the Rochester Ready newsletter, which includes important information and key deadlines for getting ready for your first semester. You'll log into your Gmail account using your NetID credentials.
