First-Year Students
Admitted Students:
Note: New freshmen admitted for the fall semester before July 24 will enroll through the Fast Track Program beginning in February. After July 24 or for the spring, summer, or winter semesters, follow the steps below.
- Obtain Your Student ID Number
When you are admitted, a letter is sent to you that includes your student ID and PIN number. Use this information to set up your My.Emich Account.
- Set Up Your My Emich account
Once you have your student ID and PIN number, you can set up your My.Emich account. My.Emich is the campus portal system that will allow you to register online, check your schedule, set up an e-mail account, find out about your financial aid and pay your bills.
- Get Academic Advising
All new undergraduate students are required to meet with an academic adviser before they are eligible to enroll in classes. During your advising appointment, your adviser will review the general education requirements of the university, any placement tests that you may need, and will help you register for your first semester classes.
Students who live out of state and are unable to attend an advising appointment on campus may call the Advising Office (734.487.2171) to schedule a phone advising appointment.
- Register For Classes
At your first advising appointment, your academic adviser will help you register you for your first semester classes. You can make adjustments to this schedule and register for future semesters using the online registration process. You are required to attend a general education group advising session before you are able to register for your second semester classes.
- Get Your Eagle One ID Card
Your Eagle One card is your student identification card. It can also be activated as a debit card. To get your Eagle One card, take the printed copy of your schedule and a picture ID, such as a driver's license, to the Eagle One office, located in 120 Student Center (lower level in the back of the food court).
- Sign up for Housing
If you are interested in living in the residence halls, you must complete a housing contract and bring or mail the completed contract and the housing deposit to the cashier's office in 200 Pierce Hall, Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197.
- Get a Parking Permit
Students who are planning to live on campus and want to bring a car must purchase a Resident Parking Permit. If you are planning to commute, you can order your Commuter Parking Permit online or in person at the parking department on campus.
- Get Financial Aid
If you have completed the FAFSA and requested that your student aid report be sent to EMU, you will automatically be considered for financial aid.
- Orientation
New Student Orientation, FUSION, is the best way to make friends and find your way around campus before classes begin.
