Before you can use UCSB Identity Services or log in to any of the services that use the UCSBnetID, you'll first need to "activate" your Identity. Use our Identity Manager service to create a UCSBnetID and setup your account.

If you believe you already have a UCSBnetID and have forgotten it, or you're just not sure where to start, the Identity Manager will tell you everything you need to know.

UCSB Identity services aggregates records from Admissions & Registration systems (for students), the Payroll system (for employees), and various other systems across campus to handle miscellaneous demographics. If you're having trouble activating your UCSBnetID you might first verify your status with the department under which you fall.

If you continue to have trouble feel free to submit a trouble ticket so we can help out.

Your UCSBnetID is automatically deactivated once you have separated from your affiliation(s) with the University. This process is described in detail on our Person Lifecycle documentation.

If you believe your UCSBnetID has been terminated in error, let us know and we'll have a look.
