Welcome new Longwood student!

Below you will find your LancerNet ID, Longwood ID number, and Longwood email address. Also included in this email are instructions for activation of your LancerNet and Longwood Live Mail accounts.

Any use of your LancerNet ID constitutes your acknowledgement and understanding that you are subject to all Longwood University policies including, but not limited to, the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources and Systems Policy and the Student Handbook.  The Information Technology policies can be found at solomon.longwood.edu/offices–departments/information-security/policies–procedures/. The Student Handbook is available at www.longwood.edu/studenthandbook/.

You will use the myLongwood web portal to access your student account and financial aid information, class schedule, grades and many other important Longwood resources. The portal is available at http://my.longwood.edu. You will use your LancerNet ID and password to log on to the myLongwood portal.
