Overview
Creating Your NetID with Your Grizzly ID
To access computer resources at Oakland University, you need a NetID and password.
In order to create your NetID account, you need to know your Grizzly ID number (which is given to you within your admission letter) and have created a PIN for your account.
- Your Grizzly ID number will begin with "G00"
If you do not have your admission letter on hand, a Grizzly ID release form can be requested at this page in our portal. Complete the form and a Technology Center Technician will reach out to complete the process. You may also call the OU Technology Center at (248) 370-4357 or the Registrar's Office at (248) 370-3450
Procedure
Creating Your NetID Account
- Navigate to https://netid.oakland.edu/profile/.
- On this page click on "Create NetID Account".
- On the next page click "Continue".
- Click the "Grizzly ID Number" field and enter your Grizzly ID.
- Enter your 6-digit PIN you created/reset and click submit, you can then choose your NetID and set your NetID Password according to the password guidelines.
After Creating Your Account
Once you have created your NetID account, it may take up to 60 minutes to be fully provisioned and available across our services. During this time, you may not be able to sign in to applications or access services that rely on Microsoft Entra ID such as MySAIL or your OU email.
