Look for an email with the subject line "Your ID, Username, and passwords for Cal Maritime portal and e-mail." That email tells you your Cal Maritime email address, username, and how to set up your password. If you cannot find that email, it may have been blocked, so just give us a call or send an email to admission@csum.edu and we can resend your credentials.

Once you find that email, go to www.csum.edu (or any Cal Maritime webpage) and click on "Login" along the top of your large screen or in the main menu icon in the upper corner of your cell phone screen . Once you reach the student portal (see above picture) you will need your user name and password when you access any of the systems listed on on the screen 

The access to your Cal Maritime email account is on the left side: "Office 365 Email." You should also take a look at your records in our computer system called "PeopleSoft -Student Systems." Inside PeopleSoft, look for "Student Center" which is how you evenuatlly will view or change your addresses, emails, phone numbers, view the courses you're registered in, accept the financial aid you've been offered, and more.
