Your student ID card will be necessary for virtually all in-person business you transact with the university. Your first step will be to get your ID picture taken at the Campus ID office on the first floor of Drinko Library. To collect your ID, you’ll also need to present a valid, government-issued photo ID is required.

Each graduate program has one or more faculty appointed as a Graduate Advisor, Coordinator, or Director of Graduate Studies. This person is a vital connection and will work with you throughout your graduate course of study. Your Graduate Advisor will review and approve your Plan of Study, assist you when it’s time to set up a thesis committee or schedule a comprehensive exam, and serve as an excellent resource to discuss your postgraduate plans.

You can easily look up your Graduate Advisor by logging into myMU and selecting the Student tab or, view a complete list of Graduate Advisors with contact information.
