New Account Setup

Log into Your ONU Account & Email

Once you have paid your Enrollment Deposit, your Admissions Counselor will send you an email with your login details for your personal student account. With these details, you can then proceed with new Account Set Up. Your ONU account is used for logging into email.olivet.edu, campus wireless, canvas.olivet.edu, my.olivet.edu and many other Olivet resources.

New Account Setup

To fully complete this step, you must set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and create your own password. If both actions are not completed, this step will remain marked as “incomplete” on your enrollment checklist.

Residential Students

Complete the Housing Application!

On the housing application, you will select your meal plan, create a roommate pin, choose Tiger Dollar amounts and more. This application must be completed prior to housing registration.

Booking Your Housing & Managing Roommate Groupings: Once you complete the Housing Application at the link above, you will receive an email in your ONU Outlook inbox with links to Housing Booking and Managing Roommate Grouping.

Although you must complete the Housing Application if you intend to live on campus, Housing Booking and the selection of a roommate is optional. If you do not have a specific room or roommate preference, you will be officially assigned a room and roommate after summer orientation.
