When You Leave NIU

Your Z-ID Will Expire

Once you have not been enrolled in classes at NIU for more than one semester, your Z-ID will expire.

You Will No Longer Have Access to NIU Network Resources

Your Z-ID allows you to access NIU network applications and resources.  Once it expires you will no longer be able to

  • access your NIU e-mail
  • dial in to NIU's Internet service
  • use the ITS computer labs
  • access your Home (H:) directory,
  • access MVS

If you have anything on NIU resources that you want to keep, download it to external media before your Z-ID is cancelled.

If you need an extension for your Z-ID, fill out the Z-ID Extension Request.
