Accounts & Access
The 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNet ID for your 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Account is assigned to you by 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. It is part of your official 51³Ô¹ÏÍø email address (e.g., 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNetID@fau.edu or 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNetID@health.fau.edu). 51³Ô¹ÏÍø uses single sign-on for most applications.

51³Ô¹ÏÍøNet ID Changes
Your original 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNet ID (user name) is not subject to change. There are two exceptions: (1) if an error was made in the spelling of your name that affected the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNet ID assigned to you or (2) if you have legally changed your name (such as through marriage). Prior to changing your 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNet ID, you must have had your legal name change recorded in the University database. To do this, faculty and staff must contact Human Resources; 51³Ô¹ÏÍø must contact the Registrar’s Office. Once your name change has been officially entered, you may submit an 51³Ô¹ÏÍøNet ID Change request.
