Explore funding and financial aid options
Financing your education is an investment in a better future. We understand how important financial considerations are in your decision to pursue a graduate degree, and we’re here to partner with you to help identify resources and opportunities that will support your needs and academic success.
A variety of types of assistance are available to help you cover your costs—federal loans, work-study positions, scholarships, fellowships, graduate student instructorships, graduate student research assistantships, full-time and temporary employment, and private sources.
Set up your University of Michigan uniqname and email account
Once you confirm your enrollment, you should receive an email invitation to set up your uniqname, which is your University of Michigan username. It is used for logging into U-M websites, email, and more. This is the first step to setting up your email account.
Once your University of Michigan email has been set up, it’s important to check it regularly, as we’ll be communicating important information about registration, orientation and more.
Once you set up your uniqname and email address, there are a couple additional steps you’ll want to take:
- Update your Campus Personal Information in Wolverine Access (under Student Business).
- Register your laptop with the University Police.
Get your Mcard
The Mcard is your official University of Michigan identification card. You'll use it all over campus to identify yourself as a member of the university community. The Mcard has many uses from building access to riding the bus for free on any fixed schedule AAATA bus route. You can also receive a discount at some businesses/organizations by showing your Mcard.
Once you have confirmed your enrollment, paid your deposit and set up your uniqname, you can submit your photo online for your Mcard.
Secure housing for the fall
You have many options for housing on and around campus. If you’re interested in connecting with fellow Michigan Public Health students to find a roommate, you can add yourself to the sph-marketplace email group once you have your University of Michigan email address.
Use the resources below to get started:
- U-M Graduate and Family Housing
- Off-Campus Housing
