EMORY IDs
All members of the Emory community have two separate IDs. The Network ID, comprised of letters from your first and last name, is used to access a variety of accounts including LearnLink and full access to OPUS, Emory's online student records system.

The Emory Personal ID (EMPLID) is a seven-digit numeric ID and will serve as your student ID at Emory. It is used to access other accounts like your EmoryCard and library services. Your Personal ID is needed to login and register for housing.

If you do not know your Personal ID, you may go to the site linked below to obtain your Personal ID (EMPLID). You may access this site as many times as needed to obtain your Personal ID (EMPLID). At the same site, you may also obtain your Network ID. Note that you may obtain your Network ID only once, so write it down along with your password.

OBTAINING YOUR PERSONAL ID, NETWORK ID, AND PASSWORD
At the site linked below, you'll be asked for your birth date and your social security number. If you don't have a social security number, you will use the email address you submitted on your Emory application to obtain your ID. If you have any difficulty, call Emory's Customer Support Center at 404-727-7777 for information on how to proceed.

After you receive your Network ID and temporary password, you can personalize your password.
