Students who are returning to the University do not need to use the NetID Claiming Service. This includes University High students as well as undergraduates who are returning as graduate students. You should retain the same NetID as you had when you were previously a student here. 

You should be reactivated automatically when you register for classes. 

If you are an international student returning from a leave of absence due to mandatory military service, please see Identity Management, Leave of Absence.

Please contact the Help Desk at consult@illinois.edu if you believe you need help to be reactivated.

If you need to reset your password, you can do so by visiting the NetID Center.

If you are a returning student but attended the University before NetIDs were used, you will need to contact the Help Desk in order to get an activation code and claim your new NetID.
