UCR NetID is a unique identifier for each employee, faculty, or student connected with UCR. At UCR Extension, the NetID provides access to Moodle, the campus wireless network, and other campus resources.

Students enrolled in a UCR Extension course using Moodle need a NetID to access their courses. UCR Extension class instructors will need a NetID to use Moodle and may obtain a NetID to use the campus wireless network. UCR Extension students enrolled in courses which use campus services such as the wireless network may also obtain a NetID. All students enrolled in the International Education Programs need a NetID.

If you are in one of the above groups, UCR Extension will send you an e-mail with the information needed to set up a UCR NetID account.

Temporary NetIDs are available for conference attendees who need to use the campus wireless network.

1. When you register for an online course, or a face-to-face or hybrid course which uses Moodle, you will receive an e-mail message confirming your enrollment. Within 48 hours, you will receive a second e-mail with information about setting up your UCR NetID (if you don't already have a NetID).
2. Use the temporary login ID and temporary password sent in the UCR NetID e-mail to create your NetID.
3. Your NetID provides access to the campus wireless network and other services, as well as to UCR Extension's Moodle courses. Your NetID will be activated for Moodle within 2 hours after you complete the set up process.
   
4. Once your online course ends, your NetID will remain active for one quarter if you are not enrolled in another class. If you are a student in a certificate program at UCR Extension, your NetID remains active for six months. If you withdraw from your only Extension course, your NetID is active for one additional week. If you are an instructor, your NetID is active for one year following your last class.

Once you have obtained a NetID, it remains yours indefinitely. If you already have a NetID, please do not create another one. If your NetID is inactive, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to reactivate it once you register for another course requiring a NetID. If you had a UCR campus NetID prior to November 2007, you can update it to the new NetID system.

Step-by-step help is available for setting up your NetID. You can also send an e-mail message to netidhelp@ucx.ucr.edu to get help with the NetID process. Please describe your NetID issue and someone will get back to you within two hours from 9 am to 9 pm Monday through Friday, and 9 am - 6 pm on Saturdays.

If you do not already have a NetID, you should have received an e-mail about setting one soon after you registered for your first online course (within two hours). If you have not received the e-mail, check your junk mail folder. If there's nothing in your junk mail folder, send an e-mail message to netidhelp@ucx.ucr.edu and ask to have your NetID e-mail re-sent.

The temporary login ID and temporary password are only used to set up the NetID. They don't provide access to Moodle. You will need to follow the instructions in the e-mail to set up your NetID before you will have access to Moodle.

Once you complete the NetID sign-up process, it can take up to two hours for your NetID to be added to Moodle. If you try to login at moodle.ucx.ucr.edu before your NetID is active, you will see an account profile page which appears to be a way to set up your account. It isn't and it won't provide access to Moodle. Ignore this page and wait until your NetID is active.

Your Moodle course becomes available seven days prior to the course start date as listed in the UCR Extension course catalog, so you won't find it at moodle.ucx.ucr.edu until that date.

The UCR Extension account is only used to register for courses. The NetID gives you access to online courses, the campus wireless network, library resources and is a separate account.

Check with the network administrator at your workplace to see if security settings are blocking your ability to use your NetID.
