Global ID Account Activation

At Central Michigan University, your CMU Global ID is your unique username and password for accessing online systems. You can activate your CMU Global ID in three easy steps.

Step 1 (of 3): Why a Global ID?

Your CMU Global ID and password can be used to access Central Link, where you will find links to many important university systems including:
  • Your CMU email
  • Course registration
  • The housing portal
  • Blackboard
  • Financial and billing information
  • Other university systems and services
Your CMU Global ID is assigned when you become an admitted student, faculty or staff member. It will remain the same during your entire time at CMU.
Your CMU Global ID is not the same as your student ID number.
