When will my Global ID/Email Account Become Active?
If you are a student that just registered for courses, or a faculty / staff member that just had your information (start date) information entered into the Human Resources system, it will take a period of time before your Global ID is created and your email account is activated.
- A Global ID should be created in about 24-hours or one business day.
- An email account (student or faculty / staff) will open 48-hours or two business days after the Global ID has been created.
