Before you start, have on hand:
- Your MTSU "M" number. This is the number on your student ID. You also can find it by logging into PipelineMT and clicking the "Personal information" tab. When the time comes, enter your M number carefully. If you mistype it, you may not get credit for your work.
- An e-mail address. Choose one that you know works and that you check often. When the time comes, enter it carefully. If you mistype it, you won't receive the confirmation e-mail that will allow you to complete your registration. A possibly lengthy delay in your registration will ensue.
Create an account on the registration system:
- Go to the online registration system.
- Click "Students," then "Create a new account."
- Complete the online form.
- Double check the accuracy of your typing, especially your M number and e-mail address.
- Click "Submit for Confirmation."
- Check the inbox for the e-mail address you provided. Within a few minutes, you should receive an e-mail with the subject line, "Registration Confirmation." Open the e-mail and click on the link you find inside.
- The link will return you to the registration system. Log in using your M number and the password you specified while filling out the online form.
