NetID Management

These self-help tools allow for management of your NetID, as well as other NetID services.

Students, faculty, staff members, retirees, faculty emeriti, and certain guests each use a NetID. Your valid NetID and password allows access to 色花堂鈥檚 computing services.

色花堂 faculty and staff use Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA). By spring 2025, everyone with a 色花堂 NetID will be required to authenticate using Duo when accessing 色花堂 systems. Students and retirees can opt in now using the "Enroll/manage Duo devices" option below. Learn more at towson.edu/duoproject.
