    Obtaining your Grizzly ID

    information ordinal icon
    To access computing resources at Oakland University, you need a NetID and password. In order to create your NetID account, you will need to know your GrizzlyID number (which should have been given to you within your admission letter). If you do not have your admission letter on hand, a GrizzlyID release form can be found at <https://www.oakland.edu/helpdesk/forms/>. Complete the online request and a Help Desk Technician will reach out to complete the process. You may also call the OU Help Desk at (248) 370-4357 or the Registrar’s Office at (248) 370-3450.
