Question
How does a new user activate their netID?
Answer
When a new NetID (username) is created for an individual, they will receive an email to their personal (non-ND) email address with instructions on how to begin. Check your personal account that you provided in your admission or hiring materials for an email with the subject line "Activate your Notre Dame account." This email is sent by noreply@okta.com, and the link in this email remains active for 90 days. Below is an example of this email:

If you have deleted, lost, or failed to receive this email, or if the 90 day period has expired, contact the OIT Help Desk (574-631-8111) so a new email can be generated for you.
After you click the Activate Okta Account you'll begin the process of setting a password, a security question, and enroll your device(s) for two step authentication. Follow the instructions you'll see on the screen.
