FAQ's

  1. NetID and Password (Email, Network, Brightspace, UCanWeb)

    Each student/faculty/staff member is assigned a campus NetID and password to be used for network logon, email and Brightspace. Each person’s NetID and default password can be found in the Secure Area/Personal Information Menu/Personal Identification Information inside of UCanWeb.

The default user password for students is set using the following individual information:

  • Student’s 2 digit day of birth
  • The first 3 letters (first letter capitalized) of the student’s month of birth
  • The last 4 digits of student’s SUNY Canton Banner ID, i.e., student identification number

For example, if your birthday is February 1 and your Banner ID (student identification number) number is 123456789, your password would be 01Feb6789. Please note that passwords are case-sensitive. If you need help logging on to your Brightspace course, contact the SUNY Canton Help Desk at (315) 386-7448.
