NetID

A NetID is what all students, faculty, and staff are required to use to logon to any of NCC’s computer in classrooms, labs, and offices. 

For Faculty

Your NetID is your BannerID (8 digit number without the @ sign) followed by @ncc.commnet.edu

Example: If your BannerID is @12345678, then your NetID is 12345678@ncc.commnet.edu

Please note: Your NetID is not case sensitive.

For Students

Your NetID is your BannerID (8 digit number without the @ sign) followed by @student.commnet.edu

Example: If your BannerID is @12345678, then your NetID is 12345678@student.commnet.edu

Please note: Your NetID is not case sensitive.

Default Password

You are also assigned a default password to use with your NetID.  This initial password is a combination of the following:

• The first three characters of your birth month with the first letter capitalized. (Jan, Feb, Mar…)

• The Ampersand character (&)

• The last four digits of your Social Security Number.

You will be required to change your password the first time you login to a computer at NCC.  You will have two minutes to create and confirm your new password, otherwise you will have to start over.

Password Protection

It has come to the attention of the IT Department that there are some faculty members who are sharing their NetID accounts with their students.  It is a breach of the CT Community College IT security policy to do this, as well as jeopardizing your privacy.  If you share this information to expedite the log on of your students to NCC computers, any student with malicious intent will have access to your NCC computer account which includes your NCC e-mail account.

Do not share this information with your students.  If they need to reset there computer account passwords please have them use the Password Reset Kiosks located in the East Campus near Admissions and the West Campus in the CIT’s first and second floor and outside the Academic Center.  The IT Department is in the process of adding additional Kiosk locations.  Written NetID reset password instructions and the IT CCC Acceptable Use Policy can be found under the Policies submenu.  If you have any questions regarding computer login procedures, please call the IT Helpdesk (ext 6800).
