It is not generally possible to change your NetID (computing account username) after account creation.

NCS therefore strongly recommends that users select usernames appropriate for public correspondence.

One of the few exceptions to this policy is in case of legal name change, especially after marriage.  A former student who has become employed at Rutgers in a fulltime position may also require a NetID change.

In these cases, the user may email a petition for NetID change to the Help Desk and state the reasons necessitating such a change.

Users should not view NetID changes as a quick and easy route to obtaining a new email address (and thus temporarily eluding spammers and other unwanted attention).  Users suffering high spam volume should switch on the university spam filter as well as investigating client-side spam detection technologies.  For further assistance, users should contact the Help Desk.
