C Number
A C number is available for a new hire within 24-48 hours of Human Resources filing a new hire's paperwork. The C number will be available for new employees and supervisors in the automated onboarding system.
NetID/MRD account and Email
The NetID is the username for signing in to myRedDragon and campus computers This account should be ready within 2-3 days of the C number being assigned.
The standard format for an employee's NetID is firstname.lastname, if there is already a user with that NetID, a number will be appended (Example: John.Smith02)
The employee's email address will be NetID@cortland.edu. The email inbox will be created up to 90 days before the employee's start date. The 90-day period allows incoming faculty with a fall start date to access email over the summer. You can begin emailing the inbox when it appears in the Outlook address list.
An employee user who knows their C number can contact the Technology Help Center to receive their NetID and email.
