CalNet is your identity on Campus.  Typically, new employees would have been asked to create their CalNet IDs during the HR onboarding process.  However, UC system processing may take a few days, and your CalNet account may not yet be active by your first day of work.  Until your CalNet is active, you may be unable to access certain  programs, sites, resources, or services.

To get more information about your CalNet account, CalNet ID, passphrase, and the CalNet 2-Step (two factor authentication), or if you still need to create your CalNet ID, please follow the link below:

▷ CalNet & Accounts How Do I page

If you do not have, or are unable to create your CalNet ID, or have questions, please first reach out to Haas Human Resources.

bConnected is the UC Berkeley suite of productivity apps.  These include bMail (for email), bCal (for calendar), and bDrive (for cloud storage), Hangouts (for videoconferencing and chat), among others.  Typically, your bConnected accounts would have already been created by your first day of work at Haas.
