University NetID Services: If You Have More Than One NetID

Background
NetIDs are created for every person active in any of the core business systems--GMS(human resources), Banner and Talisma (the student systems), the alumni database, the Sponsored University Associates system and the GUH HR system

Causes
Second, and even third, NetIDs are created when multiple records appear in differenet core business systems. These multiple occurrences are the result of differing ID numbers, missing data or data entry errors.

Solutions
The process of getting back to only one active NetID starts with correcting the situation in the core business systems that created the multiple NetIDs.  Please write the NetID Office, netid @ georgetown.edu, with the NetIDs you are aware of, the NetID you wish to keep, and the 9-digit GOCard number starting with 8 that appears on your physical GOCard for an evaluation of the specifics of your NetID situation and direction on your next steps. 

Benefits of one NetID
People who have two NetIDs suffer a range of problems:

• The e-mail address they are using does not appear in the GUMail address book.
• They must use the second NetID to log into Blackboard and GMS.
• They could lack access to the building they work in, or the dorm they live in, or access to Yates or dining halls and a variety of other problems could occur in attempting to use their GOCard. If they have multiple ID numbers in the core systems, then they will only receive the privileges associated with the ID number/affiliation upon which their card is based.

The list goes on and on. We encourage you to take the necessary steps to have your NetIDs consolidated.
