If you have a Net ID, you will need to skip the 'Username' and 'Password' fields and click the ‘University of Illinois Login’ button. This will take you to a secure login page where you can enter your NetID and password.

Once you’ve logged in using your NetID, you should see a toolbar on the left side of your browser window. If you do not see this toolbar after logging in to your website, please contact your department web administrator for access.
