New Graduate Student Checklist (Main Campus Programs)

NID (Network ID)

Your NID is formed from combining the first two letters of your first name with unique random numbers and is assigned when you are first entered into the UCF system. Your NID is yours for life and will never be assigned to another individual. Your NID is used for logging on and gaining access to many UCF systems such as the my.ucf.edu portal and the UCF_WPA2 wireless network. Your NID serves no other purpose than to authenticate you into UCF systems. It is very important that you do not share your NID, and that the password be kept secure as anyone that gains access using your NID will have access to your data within the UCF system.

Honor Your Knighthood Module

UCF is committed to student safety and success both inside and outside the classroom. As a new UCF student, you are required to complete “Honor Your Knighthood.” Honor Your Knighthood is a concept regarding new UCF students developing an understanding of the importance UCF places on subject matters related to academic integrity, alcohol awareness, sexual assault and hazing prevention. Failure to complete each of these modules by the deadlines will result in a HOLD on the student’s account mid-semester, which will prevent registration for future semesters.
