Access Your Account
Think of your student account as your key to campus. Using your campus ID number contained in the acceptance letter, you'll set up your password and multi-factor authentication.
Obtain Your I-20/DS-2019 & Student Visa
Once you're admitted, you can begin the process to obtain the required documents for legal study in the U.S.
Register for Classes
After obtaining a visa, log in to your SIS account. Your assigned academic advisor will be listed on the right side of the page, and they'll help set up your classes during an advising meeting. Be sure to register and Complete your math placement testing at least 10 days before your meeting to ensure adequate time for processing.
Choose Housing & Meal Plan
Once you're accepted, use your student account to apply for housing. Let Housing know of any special accommodation needs or preferences. This includes if you're unable to pay the housing deposit using a credit card from outside the U.S. and need the deposit placed on your SIS account for payment using Flywire. When you complete the housing application, you'll also be able to choose a meal plan.
