Setting Passwords

Before you can check your Illinois email account or register for classes online, you will have to set your passwords. Different services on campus have different passwords, so it may look like you will have to remember quite a few. Don't worry, it's possible to lower that number to one:

• Although the passwords for CITES services are set separately, you can set them to use the same password.
• Use the CITES Password Manager to set all of your CITES passwords to be the same.

The following pages will explain more about setting your passwords. Please click NetID Claiming for Undergraduate Students or NetID Claiming for Graduate Students, depending on what your student status will be when you start at Illinois.

Visit the Guide to Passwordspage for useful information about setting and using passwords. The Managing your Accounts and Passwords page gives an overview of which services use which usernames and passwords.

To help you remember your passwords, CITES recommends PasswordVault. You can learn more about PasswordVault on the Password Protection page.
