- Activate your account and set your password by the steps at How to Set or Reset Password and Obtain NetID
Log on to MyUAlbany and other services using your NetID and password at https://www.albany.edu/myualbany
Note If the confirmation message states the password was set/reset for MyUAlbany and UNIX systems but was NOT set/reset for UAlbany Mailthe Windows Network, you will only have access to MyUAlbany and not to the University email service.
This can occur because your email account is still processing. Wait another four hours and then complete the password set/reset process again.
If the confirmation message states there is an error with the NetID and does not mention the password being set/reset for any system, your account has not been processed.
New students must wait until 1pm on the next business day after their student record is completed by Admissions Office or the Bursar's Office before attempting the UAlbany Password Set/Reset. For example, if your student record was completed on Friday, you must wait until after 1pm on Monday to set your password.
An email is sent to a new student's personal email address when their UAlbany account is ready for activation. If you don't receive the email by 1pm on the next business day after the Admissions Office or Bursar's Office completes your student record, contact the ITS Service Desk.
