Watch your university email! Beginning in August, the university will be opening a new student survey, and we want to hear from YOU!
Your First Steps
Set Up Your Accounts
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 is 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 Activate Now.
Additional Steps
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.

“SSI (Seminars in Scholarly Inquiry) 180 is one of the best classes I've taken here. The first half was our research paper, and the second half we essentially played out the French Revolution. It was a TON of fun and I learned a lot.”

“My favorite place in Tacoma is Chambers Bay. So pretty for a walk, a picnic, or a place to sit and watch the ocean!”

“My favorite place in Tacoma is the Boba Lust down by the Glass Museum. I have so many memories of walking around the exhibits with friends.”
