SMU NetID is a single sign on solution that allows CAPE students to use the same username (NetID) and password across CAPE systems.
The general process of receiving a NetID involves setting up a student account with SMU CAPE, verifying your email and setting a password, and then receiving an email containing your NetID. You can then use this NetID to log in to your student portal and CAPE Canvas account. If you forgot your SMU NetID, you can use our NetID Recovery Tool to request an email containing your SMU NetID.
If your account was created prior to December 1, 2021, you will need to transition your old account to use a SMU NetID. Follow the instructions here.
If you created an account after December 1, 2021, check your inbox for an email from comanage_noreply@smu.edu containing a link to verify your email and set a password. Once you have followed the directions in that first email, you will receive a separate email containing your NetID. If you do not receive the email with instructions to set your password or if the link does not work, reach out to smuthink@smu.edu and request that the COmanage reset link be resent to you.
If you forgot your SMU NetID, you can use our NetID Recovery Tool to request an email containing your SMU NetID.
If you still cannot find your NetID, email smuthink@smu.edu and we can provide it or troubleshoot if necessary.
Once you set up your account, you will receive a message from comanage_noreply@smu.edu to verify your email and set a password. Once you have followed those instructions, you will receive a separate email containing your NetID. Be sure to check your email’s spam folder if you do not receive either email.
Check your email’s inbox and spam folder for a message from comanage_noreply@smu.edu containing a link to verify your email and set a password. If you still do not see this email, please reach out to smuthink@smu.edu and request that the COmanage reset link be resent to you.
