The School of Public Health's Office of Information Technology (OIT) services the technical needs of the Rutgers School of Public Health. The university provides each student with a free university email account.

Additionally, university policy requires that all students have a NetID. The NetID is Rutgers unique identifier, comprised of initials and a unique number (e.g., jqs23). The NetID is used to access many of the electronic services available to students at Rutgers, including online registration and email. It is the student's responsibility to activate and frequently monitor their Rutgers email accounts for time-sensitive announcements, such as weather updates and course cancellations. Students may find additional information regarding activating a NetID at https://netid.rutgers.edu/index.htm.

Problems related to a student's e-mail, NetID account, or other technical issues should be reported to the SPH OIT at sphcomputing@ca.rutgers.edu or 732-235-3231. When calling, please leave a name and contact number where you can be reached by a support specialist.
