How do I get a netID?

You must set up an account, which includes choosing a password.

Are there any special requirements regarding the password that I choose?

Yes. It must be between 12 and 32 characters long and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number.

Why do I have to choose three security questions when I set up my netID account?

We’ll use your answers to the questions to help confirm your identity if you forget your password.

How do I choose good security questions when I set up my netID account?

Choose questions where the answers are only known to you, would be hard for someone else to guess, and are easy for you to remember.

Do I have to set up a netID account?

Yes. Students and employees must have netID accounts to access online services at WCC such as MyWCC, where students register for classes and check their grades and employees view their pay stubs, time off balances, and other payroll and benefits information.

Since I already know that my netID is the part of my WCC email address that comes before the @ sign, do I still have to set up a netID account?

Yes. Setting up an account includes choosing a password. You need both your netID and your password to access online services at WCC.

When should I set up my netID account?

Set up your account as soon as you receive the letter containing your WCC ID number (it’s in the format @00000000). You’ll need your WCC ID number when you set up your netID account.

I don’t know my WCC ID and when I try to use my Social Security number to set up an account it doesn’t work. What do I do?

You must bring a photo ID to the Student Connection so that we can update our records to allow you to set up an account.

When I tried to log in using my netID, I got an error message. What do I do?

Make sure the caps lock key on your keyboard is off. Then try reentering your netID and password, remembering that they’re case sensitive. If this doesn’t work it’s possible that the password you are entering is incorrect. Reset your password and trying logging in again. If this doesn’t work:
