UT Dallas External Phone Calls

OIT is aware of an issue affecting some external calls to the University to be disconnected and is working with Microsoft for a solution. Calls to our Service Desk are functioning normally. We will provide additional details as they become available.

NetID Access Change

The types of resources you can access with your NetID depend on the access level of your account. The access level of your account is re-evaluated every semester. Your NetID access level may change when there is a change in your UTD affiliation status. The following scenarios can lead to such a change in affiliation:

  • Applied to UTD
  • Admitted to UTD or Current Student, not enrolled in current semester (If you are enrolled for an upcoming semester, your account status will be re-evaluated and updated close to the start of that semester)
  • New Student, enrolled in current semester
  • New hire, Staff or Faculty
  • No longer attending school at UTD
  • No longer working at UTD
  • Retired from UTD

You may receive advance notification about a NetID access change in some of the above listed scenarios. These emails are sent when your account is transitioning from Standard level access to Basic, Basic to Dormant (Students only), or Basic to Webapps Only (Faculty only). Please see the below table for a quick reference on what access is allowed at each level.
