Microsoft Azure Single Sign On (SSO)
Biola uses Microsoft Azure Single Sign On (SSO) and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) which uses Biola email address (and not your NetID).
Note: IT is replacing the NetID sign-in method with Microsoft Azure Single Sign On (SSO) in a phased approach. Visit our page listing systems and applications that are now using Azure SSO
Biola NetID
The Biola NetID is a user's login credential for Biola's single sign on service (SSO) that uses a single username and password across common Biola services, like myaccount.biola.edu, wireless network access, Canvas, and most library databases. The NetID consists of the first name, last initial, and one or more numbers (e.g. johns11).
- NetIDs are permanent, unchangeable, and remain indefinitely connected to user accounts.
- Users should not share their NetID as it is a part of their Biola user credentials.
Note: Over the course of the next year, IT will be replacing the old NetID sign-in method with Microsoft Azure Single Sign On (SSO) on systems like Canvas, MyAccount, and eAccounts in a phased approach, one technology service at a time.
Google Workspace
Biola uses Google Workspace for email, calendaring, document sharing, and other Google services.
If you already have a personal Gmail account, your Biola Gmail account will look and feel exactly the same. You can log in to both your personal Gmail and your Biola Gmail at the same time by following Google's instructions.
