I just got admitted at UMSL. What happens next?

Congratulations! The first thing to do is to log on to the Triton Portal and set up your Single Sign-On or SSO and email. Setting up your SSO will give you access to multiple apps and websites related to your studies at the University. Visit the New Student Programs website to get started. 

I'm having difficulty logging on to Triton Portal. What do I do?

Contact the University's Information Technology Help Desk at (314) 516-6034, stop by MSC 190 or email helpdesk@umsl.edu. Password-related requests are best handled over the phone or in person.

What is an SSO ID? Where do I go to look up my SSO ID or reset my password?

SSO stands for Single Sign On. For students, your SSO starts with your initials and has
three random letters or numbers added. Your SSO is combined with @umsystem.edu to
create your login. Example: abc123@umsystem.edu. To look up your SSO ID or to reset your password, visit the ITS website.
