Yes. If you would like to activate a CalNet ID to access alumni resources, such as the My Berkeley Alumni Portal, you may request one by completing the UC Berkeley CalNet Alumni Access Request Form.
Alumni CalNet Request Process:
- The alum must complete the UC Berkeley CalNet Alumni Access Request Form.
- University Development and Alumni Relations evaluates the request and approves or denies it.
- If approved, alum will need to verify identity remotely with Berkeley IT by showing a government-issued photo ID via Zoom.
- After ID verification, the alum will receive instruction for activating their CalNet account.
Guiding Principles
- Candidates for a CalNet ID must be UC Berkeley degree holders or attendees with 12 completed units (this is the current definition of “alumni” in campus systems).
- Previous access to a CalNet ID is not precedent-setting.
- Requests that are granted must adhere to all active usage policies and guidelines and are subject to the CalNet lifecycle management policy.
Activating a CalNet ID does not provide access to:
- Online library resources
- Cal Central
