Users with UW NetIDs

UW now uses Single Sign On (SSO) with the CITI Program. Login using your UW NetID and password.

SSO CITI Login

If you are logging into UW CITI for the first time, your CITI account will be automatically created based on your UW NetID credentials.

If you previously created a CITI account, your old CITI account has been automatically merged with your SSO login if possible. This means that when you login using your UW NetID and password, you should see your account information from your original CITI registration, including any previously completed courses. If you do not see your previously completed courses, you can still access them by logging in on the CITI website using your CITI username and password. To merge 2 existing accounts, email support@citiprogram.org for assistance.

  1. From the Main Menu, select “View Courses” by University of Washington
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select “Add a Course” under Learner Tools
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the top box, “I am registering to take a CITI course for the first time”
