Next, create a password (must be at least 8 characters in length, and be a combination of letters and numbers). After all information is entered, click on “Submit Form”.
Step Three: If all the information is entered correctly, you will see the “Internet Login Successful” screen. Behind this screen, you will find your internet ID (a.k.a. username) and email address.
If you have any difficulties initiating your account, contact the ITSS Help Desk at 218-726-8847.
Write down your internet ID and remember your password. Have them both ready while completing your online advisement & registration. You will use your internet ID and password to register for courses. |
It is important that you check your UMD email account on a regular basis, even prior to completing your online advisement & registration. Why? University-assigned student email accounts are the University’s official means of communication. The Office of Financial Aid will soon begin sending emails to students regarding missing information or other documentation needed to award financial aid.
Check your UMD email account! 48 hours after you initiate your internet account, you can begin checking your email. Go to the UMD homepage at http://www.d.umn.edu and click on “Email”. Log in using your internet ID and password. |
