All matriculated and non-degree students are assigned a Net ID by the University. Your personal Net ID allows you access to Vista, the online learning platform. Enter your NetID in lowercase when you login to Vista.

Note: Non-credit students should see our NetID Activation page for non-credit students before proceeding.

If you do not know your Net ID, please follow the directions below:

1. Go to the web address (URL): https://netid.uconn.edu/
