For a new employee to activate their NetID, a personal, non-CSU email address must be entered for them in the NetID system. The email address entered when applying for a position through TMS will automatically be added to the NetID system as the activation email address when the integration into the Oracle HR system occurs.  If the activation email address needs to be added manually, the employee’s department HR representative can follow these instructions to add it to NetID.

Prior to entering an activation email for an employee, verify their identity.

• If in person or via video conference, ask for a valid university or government-issued photo ID.
• If via phone, ask for CSU ID, NetID, full name, department, supervisor or additional information that is available to you.

Go to NetID, click “Login“, choose the correct campus they represent, and sign in using your own NetID credentials.

Click on the “Admin“ -> “Admin FAQ” link at the top of the NetID webpage.  You will need to be logged into the NetID System to access the Admin menu.  Scroll down to the NetID Account Activation FAQ and click on the “If a person has no activation email address, how can one be added?” link for instructions on how to add an activation email address.

Additional assistance or questions regarding the Activation Email address should be directed to the Division of IT Help Desk at (970) 491-7276 or at help@colostate.edu.
