The U of S Network Services ID is one username and password used to access most network-based services on campus, including campus computer labs, electronic mail, web servers, protected web pages, etc. People are assigned a unique NSID username and password that is common to all these services. This does not automatically grant access to the services.
People still have to apply for accounts on the individual services.
However, once the account is granted, all the services will utilize the same username and password. Forms to apply for the NSID and related services are available from the Computing Services Help and Information Centre in room 70 Arts building. The staff there can help establish a new NSID, or assist you with problems like a forgotten password. For most students, these services are set up when they apply for an account in their computer lab. This usually gets them access to e-mail, network file storage, and web space.
