» Transfer Enrollment Checklist: Fall 2020

Shortly after receiving your offer of admission, you should receive an email from our Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) department. The email will be sent to the email address listed on your application and provides both your My.Chapman username and temporary password, as well as instructions on how to activate your Student Account.

You learn more about your Student Account here.

If it has been more than two weeks since your acceptance and you have not received this email, please contact the IS&T Service Desk at (714) 997-6600 or servicedesk@chapman.edu.

Please be sure to set up and check your PantherMail email regularly. Once you are admitted, all official emails from Chapman (including information on your specific registration date and time) will be sent to your Chapman email account.

You can set up your new email account using the instructions outlined in the email from our IS&T department after being admitted. More information on PantherMail is available on our IS&T website.
