What is a long-term guest NetID?

A long-term guest NetID provides guests who will be on campus at least one month (at the request of an academic department or unit) access to library resources, CITES Express Email, and CITES NetFiles (online file storage), in addition to network access.

Sponsoring departments or units can click here to learn more about requesting a long-term guest NetID and password.

Long-term guest NetIDs and passwords are available for a rate of $25 per month. This fee provides:

• A unique NetID and NetID password.
  
• Access to library resources.
  
• UIUCnet wireless and Walkup access to the campus network.
  
• Five hours of dialup access to campus dialup networking per week
