Access to UW restricted online resources is mediated by a system known as a “proxy”.
How do I use the new Proxy?
- Click on the icon in any residency network page or use the Off-Campus Access link within Healthlinks
- Enter your UW NetID login and password
){kind=link}
Note that the Off-Campus Access link now says You are Logged In and the address shown in your browser window includes “80” and "offcampus.lib"
Do I have a UW NetID?
You must have a clinical faculty appointment to be eligible for a UW NetID. Your UW NetID is your personal identification for using UW online resources. If you have a UW email address, your UW NetID appears as (uwnetid@u.washington.edu).
John Doe might have an email address of (jdoe@u.washington.edu) and UW NetID "jdoe". You only need to set up a UW NetID once. If you already created a UW NetID but forgot your password, reset your password online or call UW Computing directly at (206) 543-5970.
How do I get a UW NetID?
UW HuskyCards (faculty / staff ID cards) printed after January 2002 include an Employee Identification Number (EID) on the front. If you can’t find your EID, please contact Paul Ford at (206) 685-4119. The following web site will walk you through setting up a UW NetID, but you must know your EID before beginning:

Hints for using the proxy
- Use the forward and backward buttons on your browser to move around.
- Do not use your Home button, your favorites or bookmarks.
- When you go to an external resource (eg ejournal, textbook), a new window will open. Be sure to log out if needed and close that new window when you are finished with the resource. Return to the HealthLinks window to continue your session.
- If you fall out of the offcampus proxy space and no longer see the special url or the You are Logged In message, then click on the Off-Campus Access link to re-enter.
- At the end of your session, be sure to close your browser windows completely so that others cannot use your access.
