  • Enter your NetID in the User Name: field,
  • Enter your NetID password in the Password: field. 

NOTE:  A user's NetID is the string of characters before the @ symbol in the user's email address. For example, if the user's email address is jdoe@massart.edu, the user's NetID would be jdoe.

Entertainment Devices

Entertainment devices are typically devices students bring with them to use in their residence hall room for entertainment purposes. Popular entertainment devices include Smart TVs, gaming consoles, or streaming devices (e.g., Roku, Fire TV, AppleTV), and WiFi-enabled appliances.  Devices which lack a web browser, and which consequently cannot access the MassArt Registration page, can be connected to the network if the user clicks on the Entertainment Registration link in the middle of the MassArt Registration page.

NOTE: If you've already registered the device you're using to set up an entertainment device and therefore are not automatically redirected, register your entertainment device HERE.
