Getting Started Guide for Students

Welcome to Davidson!  New students will receive an account claim via email or text message in late May.  This information is sent via email and text message to the personal email address and phone number you provided to the college.  During the claim process, you'll create your network password, enroll in Duo two-factor authentication and receive your Davidson College email address.
