Welcome to Furman: Getting Started
Hello!
Congratulations on your decision to attend Furman! We are so excited that you will join us this fall, and hope this finds you eager to get started.
We want to make sure that throughout the summer you are fully informed about everything pertaining to your first year at Furman. It is important that you check your e-mail regularly. We will begin e-mailing you at your new Furman.edu e-mail address. Soon we will communicate solely to your Furman.edu e-mail address.
Let’s get started!
As you have probably realized, Furman relies heavily on technology to communicate with our students. We also depend on numerous web-based tools for a variety of administrative details like housing assignments and hosting important activities that will prepare you for academic advising and your academic course registration. It is imperative for you to develop a familiarity with how to navigate and use the range of web-based platforms at Furman.
Your Furman Network Credentials are ready!
It’s official! Once your admission deposit has been processed, you will be able to access your Furman network credentials, which include your username, Student ID number, and temporary password. You will receive two emails with the subject lines “Furman Account Information” and “Furman Additional Information” with your credentials.
Please visit the New Students website to review your next steps, including instructions for accessing the New@FU orientation platform, Workday Student, and learning more about technology at Furman. There are a number of tasks you can now begin working through in preparation for beginning your path at Furman!
Questions about network access should be directed to the Information Technology Service Center via e-mail at [email protected].
