ID and Email
Your FDU NetID verifies who you are and ensures the privacy of your personal information. Your FDU NetID and your NetID password will provide access to a variety of IT resources including your Self-Service, WebCampus, Office365, and Email.
To obtain your NetID, follow the guide below:
To protect the University and our Students from cyber attacks and other malicious activity, we require that everyone in our community to periodically change their password.
To change your password, follow the guide below:
To successfully use your NetID to access your accounts, you will need Two-Factor Authentication with Cisco DUO MFA.
Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your FDU NetID. It requires two factors to verify identity. These factors include something you know – your FDU NetID and password, and something you have – a phone or passcode, to authenticate and gain access to your account on FDU services. Passwords alone no longer provide adequate protection against cyber hacking. DUO is required for all current FDU students.
To set up your mobile device with DUO MFA, follow the guide below:
