The UA NetID is a secure, efficient way for the University and its computer systems to ensure that you are who you say you are before allowing access to potentially sensitive information. It will allow you to use just one user name and password to access a growing number of online services at the University of Arizona.
The UA NetID uses the same login and password as your U-System or Email ID. So, if you already have a UITS Email or U-System account, then you already have UA NetID established.
