Setting up Your CMU Global ID Account
Visit myaccount.cmich.edu/newaccount and follow the on-screen instructions. For additional assistance, please contact the OIT Help Desk (contact info below).
Setting Up Your DUO Mobile Application
NOTE: International students (those without US residency status) are granted a 30-day exception window from when they are admitted before the required Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) protection is enforced on their accounts during the setup process at
https://myaccount.cmich.edu/newaccount. This is intended to allow for a smoother experience coordinating the additional steps and requirements imposed on international students after they are admitted as they apply for housing, register for courses, and address other administrative needs to start attending CMU. Students will receive email notification 7 days prior to MFA being enforced as this 30-day exception window concludes that points to Knowledge Base content and provides contact information for the OIT Help Desk to assist.
