MyUM:
Testudo, E-mail, ELMS, a New Calendar and More … One Site, One Login
E-mail, Testudo, ELMS (powered by Blackboard Academic Suite), resources you use on a daily basis, each requiring you to visit a different Web site and log in using the same set of credentials. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could gain access to all these systems in one place and log in once? MyUM, the university’s portal, presented by the Office of Information Technology as a service to University of Maryland students, offers all that and more.

Simply point your browser to www.my.umd.edu, log in using your Directory ID and password, and voilà: e-mail on the MyUM tab, a whole tab filled with Testudo applications along with all of your ELMS courses, and another filled with resources that enhance life after classes.

If that sounds good, how about adding a personal calendar that contains your class schedules? Manage your time, your academics, and your personal life all in one place, with one login. And we are just getting started. Take some time to visit the site and check out the resources available. Something’s not there? Something’s not working the way you expect it to?
