Road to UVM - New Student Onboarding Experience
Activate your NetID
                
  Your UVM NetID is a single username with a corresponding password that grants access to the myUVM Portal, UVM’s wireless network, the UVM email and calendar system, Admissions Application Portal, Brightspace, and other UVM systems and services. Your NetID consists of up to eight letters/numbers based on your last name and initials.
- For instance, the NetID “jshmoe” would belong to Joe Shmoe.
What is my UVM email account?
- Your UVM email address is associated with your NetID, such as jshmoe@uvm.edu. Additionally, each email account has an email alias based on your first and last name, like Joe.Shmoe@uvm.edu. Email sent to either address is delivered to your UVM email account.
Download the Microsoft Outlook Mobile Application for convenient access to your UVM email on the go, follow the instructions on adding your UVM email account to your device.
