NetBadge

Verifies your identity as a valid user of the UVa website or online resource you are trying to access

NetBadge is not a UVa computing account in itself. Instead, it logs you into a UVa website using either your personal digital certificate or your computing ID and password from your other computing accounts.

If you don’t have a personal digital certificate to log into NetBadge and need to change the password you use to log into it, then follow the instructions below to change the password for any of the following accounts that you have:

• Faculty & staff options: blue.unix; Central Mail Service (CMS); Eservices; UVa Health System email; or permanent password
• Student options: permanent password; Eservices; blue.unix; (or, for applicants for admission to UVa and newly-admitted students only: temporary applicant password)
