Over time a netid may not reflect a person accurately based on name and other changes. University-affiliated persons may request a netid reissue if their current netid differs significantly from their name due to a legal name change, or when needed to more accurately reflect their gender identity.
Please note that a netid reissue affects a broad range of campus services and each request will be reviewed. Simply not liking your UCSB netid does not qualify for a netid reissue. If your current netid shows all or part of your first or last name and that has not changed, you do not qualify for a netid reissue.
Faculty and staff can request a UCSB netid reissue by contacting the UCSB IT Help Desk. Searching on "reissue" will locate the correct help desk ticket.
Students can request a UCSB netid reissue by contacting the UCSB Student Help Desk or by contacting the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity. At each support center they can request that a UCSB netid reissue ticket be submitted on their behalf.
