About Your NetID
Students admitted to the University of Tennessee are assigned a Network ID (NetID). Your NetID is the username associated with your accounts for the University of Tennessee, and it is the first part of your University email address, NetID@vols.utk.edu.
Your NetID grants secure access to a variety of applications and services, including MyUTK and Online@UT.
