Set up your PirateID and email

Log into the Navigator account you created when you submitted your application. There you will find your PirateID and email address. Then, activate your PirateID and create your secure passphrase. When activating, please be sure to enter your full student email address when prompted. If needed, find instructions on activating your PirateID in this tutorial.

After activating your Pirate ID, please find your Admitted Student Checklist in PiratePort. There you will find instructions on:

• Paying your enrollment deposit
