Account Basics - All faculty, staff, and students are assigned a Rutgers unique identifier known as a NetID.  In order to access many of the electronic services available to you at Rutgers, you need to activate your Rutgers NetID.  After you receive an account, you'll need to manage your account quota (available space). The page Managing Your Disk Quota will provide you with guidance, and tell you how much space you received with your new account.
