NetID Best Practices
Your NetID is used to gain access to online University services and resources. You should never give your NetID and password to anyone else as doing so can expose both your personal and confidential information and that of the University.
An increasing number of emails are being sent to Queen's University email addresses asking you to verify your NetID and password. These emails are hoaxes known as phishing attacks, and are fraudulent attempts to get you to reveal personal information.
No legitimate authority at Queen's will ever ask you to divulge your NetID password.
The following NetID practices are recommended by ITServices:
- Never give out your NetID and password.
- Do not reply to any email asking you for this information, or click on links in such an email.
- If you have replied, change your password immediately.
- Do not use your NetID and password as your login credentials for any online service that does not require them. This includes some Queen's services (e.g. Oracle Calendar) as well as all non-Queen's applications (e.g. online banking, shopping).
- Contact the IT Support Centre at 613.533.6666 during regular business hours or by filling out the online help form if you have any questions.
Remember that divulging your NetID password or other access control information for your accounts is a violation of the Queen's Computer User Code of Ethics.
