  3. Read the METNET account policy. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
    - Click 'I Agree' to continue to initialize your account and be forwarded to the Account Set-Up page.

  4. Enter the following information to activate your account:
    - Your Tech ID number
    - Your college
    - A password, which is six to eight characters long and contains both letters and numbers. Password is case-sensitive. Choose a password that will not be easy for others to guess.
    Record Your Password. Password cannot be looked up. If you forget it the only recourse is to have it reset.
