Network Credentials: NetID and LawID

As a Duke Law Student, you have both a Duke NetID and a law school LawID, each of which provides access to specific services. The NetID is issued by Duke's Office of Information Technology (OIT). OIT mailed your NetID credentials to your mailing address on record when you were matriculated to the university. If you have not yet received your NetID, please telephone the OIT help desk at (919) 684-2200.

Law School Academic Technologies then issued your LawID credentials to give you access to services provided exclusively to law students. You can obtain your LawID credentials by following the instructions at our LawID credentials issuance page.

The below table will help you understand which services require the LawID and which ones require the NetID.
