"How do I log in?"

To get into the portal, simply use your current NetID (the account you use to log onto campus computers) and password, for example:

User name: BannerID@student.commnet.edu (ex. 87654321@student.commnet.edu)

Password for returning students: The 8-character password you currently use  

Password for new students: The initial password for all new NetIDs will be based on a combination of personal information (birth date and social security number). Specifically, the following three items will make up the initial password:

• 1st three characters of birth month (with first letter capitalized)
• Ampersand character - &
• Last 4 digits of Social Security Number

So, for a user with a birth date on 10/24/79 and social security number of 123-45-6789, the initial password would be: Oct&6789   NOTE: You will be forced to change your password the first time you logon.
