Accessing Miami Tech: Duo Two-Factor Authentication
|
|
|
|
In order to access Miami University resources, you will need to be enrolled in Duo, our two-factor authentication tool. When you first try to log in to a Miami resource (email, myMiami, BannerWeb, Canvas, etc.), you will be prompted to enroll in Duo. Then, whenever you log in to your Miami accounts after that, you will be asked to authenticate with Duo.

Generally, all full-time first-year and second-year undergraduate students are required to live on campus.
If you will live on campus, you should submit your Residence Hall and Meal Plan Contract by signing into the Miami Campus Services Housing Portal. Please do not sign a housing contract if you plan to apply for a residency exemption.
Students living on campus can check their housing and dining arrangements via the Miami Campus Services Housing Portal. Please note that the earliest students will be able to move into their residence halls is January 17 and that an additional nightly fee will be charged until the housing contract begins. Typically, room assignment information for incoming students is sent out by email in January.

For those planning to live off-campus living, please take time to consider your options and review the Off-Campus Outreach, Housing Search webpage.
Housing accommodations should be arranged before arrival and the move-in date confirmed with the property manager.

Academic Advising and Course Registration
|
For most undergraduate students (first year and transfer), please note that academic advising and course registration will happen as part of the in person orientation program (January 18-January 22).
More details will be shared in the upcoming messages and Canvas modules.

| Miami's name comes from the Myaamia people.
Miami University is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who, along with other indigenous groups, ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The Miami people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846.

|
|
In 1972, a relationship between Miami University and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma began and evolved into a reciprocal partnership, including the creation of the Myaamia Center at Miami University in 2001. The work of the Myaamia Center serves the Miami Tribe community and is dedicated to the revitalization of Miami language and culture and to restoring that knowledge to the Myaamia people.
