Student Global IDs

Once you have been given an admission status – non-degree, regular or conditional admission – one of the first things you must do is set up your CMU Global ID and e-mail account. Your tuition statements, course schedule information and all other critical communications from CMU are sent to your CMU e-mail account. You could miss out on vital information if you do not set up your account.

Important note: The Receivable Accounting Office sends all billing statements electronically to CMU global e-mail addresses. Students are responsible for accessing these monthly e-mail messages for their account balance and payment due dates.
 

For security purposes, a student with any admission status – non-degree, regular or conditional – can only set up a Global ID and e-mail account within 30 days following their admission to CMU. After 30 days, the student will need to contact the on-campus Help Desk at (989) 774-3662 or helpdesk@cmich.edu for assistance in setting up their account.

How to set up your CMU Global ID and e-mail account:

1. Log on to https://myaccount.cmich.edu/newaccount
2. Follow the prompts to set up your account and password

Important note: Although the option to forward e-mail appears to offer greater flexibility to students (and staff) interested in maintaining a pre-existing account, there are a number of potential risks associated with this process. It is for this reason that the university strongly recommends users avoid forwarding their university provided e-mail accounts.
