Your account
Soon after May 1, you'll receive information on how to activate your account, the my.umassd.edu portal, and more. You’ll need your student ID (listed on your acceptance letter) and will also need to set up multifactor authentication with the Duo mobile app to activate your account.
Once you've activated your account, you should regularly access our new student portal, found in your sites on the myumassd portal, for important information, dates, and resources.
You're almost done
Your admission and enrollment is contingent upon our receipt of official transcripts from all your previous academic work (undergraduate, graduate and professional). The official transcript from your degree granting institution must show your final grades and the award of a Bachelor’s Degree.
Submission of these items through the Law School Admission Services as part of your CAS report satisfies this requirement.
