Create a new account in NetID
Overview
This article will help you understand how to set up your own account in NetID so that you can access Catholic Schools NSW services.
Prerequisites
You will need to use the email address provided by your school or the Catholic Education Office
We recommend using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browser. Both these browsers offer the most seamless access to the platform and the Single Sign-On process.
Instructions
New Accounts
1. Go to the NetID website at https://netid.csnsw.catholic.edu.au or you can search for 'CSNSW NetID' in your web browser and it should appear as the first result.
2. Enter your email address and click "Next" to proceed. To ensure a smooth sign-up process, make sure you provide a valid and accurate email address.
For Diocesan schools or organizations, it will take you directly to the “New Account Registration form”.
For Catholic Independent Schools, select either “Sign up with Google” (if you use G Suite for your email) or “Sign up with Microsoft” (if you use Office 365/Outlook for your email). For the creation of new accounts, the only option is to use Single Sign-On (SSO) through your school or diocesan email account. It means your NetID account will be linked to your Google or Microsoft account. If unsure which one to select, check with the IT department for your school or diocese which is the email provider for your organization (Google or Microsoft?). Select the “Sign Up” tab to start the process of creating your account.
3. Enter your details in the New Account Registration form.
Fill up the New Account Registration form with your details then select the Complete Registration button when finished.
Select your school if you are a staff member at a school. If you work at the diocesan office, please select the corresponding Catholic Education Office.
Click the drop-down list to select your role. Alternatively, you may click the drop-down box and manually type in your role.
After completing the sign-up process, your account will be placed in a ‘Pending’ status, requiring approval from your school principal or a representative from your diocese. They will receive a notification via NetID and email.
Your NetID account will be activated when your school principal or someone from your diocese has approved your new user account request.
When your NetID account has been activated, you can log in to NetID.
