For NEW EMPLOYEE

Log into Computer

You use your NYU NetID and a password issued by CIT to log into your PC or Mac. The computer login password is NOT your NYUHome password. However, for simplicity and convenience, CIT recommends you set your computer login password the same of your NYUHome password. When you change your NYUHome password, you also need to update your computer login password.

If you forget your computer login password, please contact us.

Get Connected to NYU-Net

NYU-NET is the University gateway to the internet and world wide web, connecting NYU's many locations to one another and to the internet at large.

All of the computers must be registered with their MAC addresses in order to get connected to the NYU Network. You are required to submit a computer registration request to us with the information of the MAC address on your PC or Mac.

In addition, the data jack in your office must be activated by NYU IT. Please submit a data jack activation request to NYU IT.

The NYU-WiFi service provides secure, wireless access to NYU-NET. Its access point name is "nyu", and available to all Tisch employees with NYU NetIDs from most NYU locations including global sites.

NYU guests and visitors who do not have an NYU NetID are eligible to connect to "nyuguest", a separate wireless network.

It provides password-protected access to NYU's network (NYU-NET) and Internet services from an off-campus location that is as secure as being connected directly to NYU-NET on campus. You can download it from NYU software website.
