New User Setup: SSO, Password, Email

As a new student, you will want to activate your SSO username and password which serves as your official UMSL login for many of the tasks. You will need your student number (12345678) that was included in your Admissions packet or listed on your Triton Portal. Activating your SSO and password also creates your official UMSL email (SSO@mail.umsl.edu), which serves as the primary communication tool between you and UMSL. To login for your email or UMSL Google Drive, you will use SSOusername@umsystem.edu - but your email you give to others is SSOusername@mail.umsl.edu 

Click the separate SSO, password and email links to create these accounts. For additional assistance, watch the new user setup video below.
