So I’ve already SIR’d into Cal and I’m having difficulties creating a calnet account. Under the question that says “enter your student ID,” what ID do I enter? I tried my state ID and it didn’t work
Same here
Get on your Dashboard on CalCentral after you accept your admission offer.
Your name should appear in the upper far right corner.
Click on your name and a pull down menu shows up.
Choose Profile.
You will find your student ID number here (mine was 10 digits long).
Then you click on the Dashboard in the upper left hand corner and go back to your tasks to complete setting up your CalNet ID and password.
Click on the “Get CalNet” bar.
A screen pops up asking for your CalNet ID … here you use your student ID number you got from your profile.
After this, follow the steps to set up a new ID (mine is myfirstname.mylastname) … Keep in mind that Berkeley automatically adds @berkeley.com to the end of whatever you choose and that becomes your email for the next 4 years.
When you login next time you will use this email ID (minus the @berkeley.com extension).
Good luck!
