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.<\/p>\n

Beginning in April and once your admission deposit has processed<\/strong>, you will receive two emails with the subject lines \u201cFurman Account Information\u201d<\/em> and \u201cFurman Additional Information\u201d<\/em> containing your Furman network credentials. This includes your username, Student ID number, and a temporary password.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve received your credentials, you are ready to begin completing a number of new student tasks:<\/p>\n
