• Campus computers
• Your Towson email—Webmail Powered by Google
• Network file storage and Web publishing space
• Wireless networks on campus
• Towson Online Services for bill payment and online to-do lists
• Blackboard for online courses

It is imperative that you activate your NetID as soon as possible. Check your Towson email regularly for important information about your transition to TU, including To-Do List emails and other university communications.

How to Activate Your Net ID

1. Visit the NetID website.
2. Click on Activate Your NetID.
3. When prompted, enter your last name, seven-digit Towson student ID number and date of birth. Your student ID number is located on the Offer of Admission letter you received. If you cannot locate it, contact University Admissions at 410-704-2113.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process.

If you experience difficulty activating your account, or for other technical questions, please contact the Student Computing Services Desk at scs@towson.edu or 410-704-5151.

Additional instructions and detailed tutorials for Towson’s many technology services are available at TechOverture, a site designed to introduce you to Towson’s computing systems.

Students—not parents—should activate their TU account. This will help the student remember his or her password and learn how to access the system. Don’t forget to check your TU email regularly for important information about your transition to TU.
