AccessNet vs DestinyOne Account
How do I activate my Accessnet?
What are the different Temple University account types and how do they differ?
| Account Type | Destiny One Account | AccessNet Account |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Your Destiny One account (TU_XXXXXX) is your permanent account at noncredit.temple.edu and will never expire. You can use this account to sign up for another class, print your record of coursework, and review your account history at any time in the future. | Your AccessNet account (TuzXXXXXX) is used to access various Temple University systems (including Canvas) and will expire at the conclusion of your course. You will lose access to this account during the time periods when you are not actively enrolled. |
What is a TUID?
Your Temple University ID is a 9 digit number that is associated with you similarly to how a social security number is associated with you. It is what the university uses to identify you. Your TUID is usually received in an email before the process of activating your accessnet. In order to activate your accessnet, you will need to have this 9 digit number, so be sure to keep it in a safe place!
