1. IMPORTANT FOR ALL STUDENTS: Set up your NetID Security Q&A's TODAY!
You all should have received notification regarding the new University identity management system, NU Validate, with an improved self-service method for resetting forgotten or expired NetID passwords online.
Please remember to setup your NetID security Q&As today. If you do not setup your Q&A’s, you will be unable to reset your NetID password and may lose access to valuable Kellogg and Northwestern resources like email, Blackboard, and the wireless network.
Your previously established security question and PIN will no longer allow you—or KIS—to reset your NetID password; therefore, it’s very important to establish your Q&As as soon as possible.
Please click here to do so.
If you have any questions, please contact your KIS Support Center. Hours and contact information are available online.
