New Students 

Your Rowan NetID is your key to accessing online Rowan University services. With your Rowan NetID, you can log in to Canvas, RowanWiFi, Self-Service Banner, Google Drive, your Rowan email and Rowan-managed computers in computer labs and elsewhere. To activate your Rowan NetID:

• Visit Rowan NetID. Go to netid.rowan.edu, and click the Other Login button. You'll enroll in Duo two-factor authentication and create a password as part of this process. Follow these instructions for help. 
  • Use the Duo Mobile app: The Duo Mobile app is the fastest, easiest and most secure way to verify your identity at Rowan University. 
  • Create a strong password: Passwords are your first line of defense in protecting your data. By creating strong passwords for each of your accounts, you make it harder for someone who isn't you to access your information online.
• Locate your Banner ID. Rowan University assigns a unique nine-digit Banner ID number to every member of the Rowan community. You may be asked for your Banner ID when submitting internal forms and applications or to help verify your identity. As a new student, you will receive your nine-digit Banner ID in your admissions and orientation materials. You can also locate your Banner ID at netid.rowan.edu or on your applicant status page. 

Check your Rowan University email account at least daily to keep up with the latest information about events on campus and review important University announcements.

• Check your Rowan email. Most Rowan students recieve a Rowan Gmail account. Medical students receive an Exchange account. 
• Forward your Rowan Gmail account. Want to forward your student Gmail messages to another account? Check out this guide. Note: Medical students may not automatically forward email to a personal account.
   

RowanWiFi is the easiest way to get online at Rowan University. If you can access something while connected to the internet from off-campus, you can get to it from RowanWiFi. 

• Connect a laptop or phone. For most personal devices, you can log in to RowanWiFi in two steps. Just select RowanWiFi when you're on campus, and log in with your Rowan NetID. 
• Connect a gaming console/entertainment device. To wirelessly connect Playstations, Rokus, Apple TVs and other entertainment devices to the internet, you’ll need to know your device’s MAC address and register it at rowan.edu/device. Once those steps are complete, you can connect your device to the RowanWiFi network.
