About CFRNetIDs

A CFRNetID is your key to the School of Forest Resources computer network. It will let you access resources such as computers and printers located in your lab and office, large scale printers located in the Director's office, and storage space located on School file servers (icluding a web server).

A CFRNetID is for YOUR use, and YOUR USE ALONE! It uniquely identifies you on our network. If you lend your CFRNetID to a friend, or allow someone else to use a computer that is logged in using your CFRNetID, you may be held responsible for their actions.
