My-UW Net ID

A NetID is a unique identifier used by the UW-Madison community to determine authorization for online resources. The NetID replaces the old WiscWorld ID. It verifies a user's identity, ensures the privacy of personal information, and limits use of campus resources to those who are authorized.

The NetID is required for access to such services as My UW-Madison, WiscMail, and WiscCal.

Your NetID is the user name that appears to the left of the @ sign in your email address (for example, astudent@wisc.edu).

To activate your NetID, go to any computer connected to the Internet. From a Web browser, go to http://www.doit.wisc.edu/wiscworld/ and follow the instructions.


My-UW Password

Your password is used to access My-UW in conjunction with your NetID. All questions regarding your password should be referred to the Division of Information Technology.
