Activate NMU User Account

Once admitted to NMU, you will sent an acceptance letter which will ask you to activate your NMU user account and obtain your user ID and password. 

• Your birth date and social security number must be on file with the Admission’s Office in order to create your account. If you did not provide that information on your application, please contact Admissions at 1-800-682-9797.
• Please visit http://myuser.nmu.edu/ and click on "New User Page." Your user ID and password will allow you to log into My NMU.
• If you have difficulties activating your account, please contact the NMU HelpDesk or call 906-227-2468.

My NMU Web site: Once you activate your NMU account, become familiar with the My NMU Web site. You will be able to review your class schedule, check your personal information, view your billing information, pay your bills, link to WebCT and check your NMU e-mail. The NMU Helpdesk offers a guide on using My NMU Web site.

NMU E-mail - Official means of communication: Northern Michigan University requires students to use their NMU e-mail accounts as the primary means of communication. This means that all official mail is sent to your NMU e-mail account including such things as: messages from your instructor, class cancellations, NMU announcements and billing information.
