Activate Your Rowan NetID
Your Rowan NetID is your key to accessing online Rowan University services. With your Rowan NetID, you can log in to Canvas, RowanWiFi, Self-Service Banner, Google Drive, your Rowan email and Rowan-managed computers in computer labs and elsewhere.
To activate your NetID:
- Go to netid.rowan.edu
- Select First Time Users
- Enter the requested biographical information to verify your account and click Submit.
Note: If you do not have a Social Security number on file with Rowan University, you may leave the field blank. - You will be prompted to enroll in Duo two-factor authentication. Select Enroll Mobile Phone to set up the Duo Mobile app on your device. This is the most secure way to verify your identity at Rowan, and the option we recommend. We also encourage you to enroll a hardware token as a backup device.
- You'll be directed to the Duo portal to complete enrollment. Follow their instructions to complete enrollment, and use their directions for help.
- You will be prompted to authenticate through Duo using the device you added. For help using Duo, see our article on logging in using Duo.
- Navigate to the Contact Management page and enroll a Recovery Email, at a minimum. This should be a personal email address that can be used in the event that you have forgotten your password, are locked out of your account, or your multi-factor authentication device is unavailable.
NOTE: It is also a good idea to enroll in our emergency contact system, RAVE. This may be required depending on your role at the University. - Finally, you will be able to update your password by using the Update Password button in the navigation panel. If there are any other missing requirements for your account, you will be notified on this page. Enter and verify your new password, and click Update Password.
- Your Rowan NetID is now ready to use! You can now access the online digital resources available to you as a Rowan University employee.
Locating Your Banner ID
Rowan University assigns a unique nine-digit Banner ID number to every member of the Rowan community. You may be asked for your Banner ID when submitting internal forms and applications or to help verify your identity.
New employees should contact the secretary for their department for their Banner ID.
Accessing Your Email
You can access your Rowan University email through the Outlook for the Web, Outlook for desktop or the Outlook Mobile app. Visit the IRT website for more information about email for employees.
Your email address is your NetID username plus @rowan.edu. You can find your email address at netid.rowan.edu.
- Log in to netid.rowan.edu with your Rowan NetID.
- Your email address is located in the "My Information" section.
