SET UP YOUR GLOBAL ID

You’ll use your Global ID for everything here at CMU.

Set up new account

1. Find your PIN

Remember that big maroon and gold envelope you got in the mail? It had “YOU’RE IN!” plastered across the front? We said you’d need it later.

Grab the letter from inside. At the very bottom, there is a four-digit number. That’s your PIN.

Can’t find your letter? We can help. Contact our Help Desk at helpdesk@cmich.edu or by calling 989-774-3662.

2. Go to New Account page

Now that you have your PIN, log in to your account to get started.

3. Agree to networking policies

Next, agree to our Computing and Network Resources Policy.

Things you’re agreeing to:

  • Using the computers and internet on campus responsibly.
  • Respecting the privacy of others while using campus internet and computers.
  • No downloading things that are threats to the network.
  • No committing crimes online.

(You should actually read it, though. There’s some good info in there.)

4. Set your password

Now, use that PIN from step 1. Enter all your information:

  • Last name
  • Birthdate
  • Security question

And then set your password. Make sure to keep your password safe. From checking your email to logging into Blackboard, you’ll use it almost daily.

Aaaaand DONE!

Well, kind of. Now you’re ready to submit your deposit.
