Your myNortheastern username and password is your gateway to many online university sites, including the myNortheastern portal and the learning management system. You should have received your username and password when you first claimed your online account.

Your NUID is a 9-digit number beginning with 00 that is unique to you. You can find this number on the sidebar of your myNortheastern portal. It is used for most academic and financial transactions.

Northeastern will never ask you to confirm your username and password in an email. Forward any suspicious email that you receive to phishcatcher@northeastern.edu. If you have any reason to believe that your account has been compromised, report it immediately to the IT Service Desk.

All faculty are responsible for following the Northeastern University Appropriate Use of Computer and Network Resources Policy. The policy is available at northeastern.edu/aup.
