The U-M technology resources you will probably use every day.

Check Your U-M Email (A LOT)

Before you get to campus, your new U-M email address will receive important updates from your school or college, your advisor, your instructors, and lots of other places. Check it often!

Download Software

You can get no-cost access to software like Microsoft 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, EndNote, Zoom, Slack, and more at the U-M Software Directory. Be sure to check it before you buy anything!
