It All Starts Right Here

We can't wait for you to start your Puget Sound Experience! To make sure everything is as simple and stress-free as possible, we've put together this quick guide for you.

Your First Steps

  • ‌ SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT
  • ‌ ACTIVATE YOUR EMAIL
  • ‌ ADDITIONAL STEPS
  •  

    Your student account is what you’ll use to pay your bills, access financial information, order transcripts, sign up for emergency alerts, and see everything you’ll need to do before arriving on campus. Before you do anything else, set it up.

    Go to my.pugetsound.edu (log in with your username and password from the admission portal).

     
  •  

    Once your student account’s set up, log in to your new Puget Sound email account for important information and reminders.

    In my.pugetsound.edu, go to My Information, choose Email Information, then click Active Now.

    Here are a few more things to take care of this summer:

    • Set up emergency alerts
    • Send your high school transcript
    • Confirm that your health insurance provides coverage in Tacoma
    • Follow us on social media
    • Explore majors and academic requirements
    • Order course materials and swag through the Logger Store

    And depending on your situation, you also may need to:

    • Complete a sports physical (for student-athletes)
    • Contact the office of Student Accessibility and Accommodation if you have a documented disability
