Next Steps for Online & Graduate Students

Here are your next steps now that you are admitted to Thomas More University’s accelerated & graduate programs!

Note that you will need your MyTMU login in order to complete these steps. You should have received an email with information to schedule an appointment with IT services. If not, go to step 1 below to schedule an appointment to verify your identity and receive your login information.

1. Verify your identity by setting up a video call with our computer center and showing your photo ID. *International students who have been issued a Form I-20 are already considered ID-verified and do not have to complete this step.
2. Visit MyTMU. MyTMU is our online student portal where you can view your course schedule or degree audit, pay your bill, and find other important enrollment-related information.
3. Apply for a student identification badge and campus parking permit. Complete the request form in MyTMU. You will need to either pick this up or notify your enrollment coach you would like this mailed to you. Email [email protected] if you need this mailed. 
4. View your classes by logging into MyTMU and clicking on Student Services > My Schedule > Change Term to select your term of enrollment > Change Program to All Programs > Click “View Your Schedule.”
5. Pay your tuition bill by logging into MyTMU and clicking on Student Services > Student Bill > My Account Balances > Make a Payment. For more information on cost of attendance please visit our Estimated Cost of Attendance page.
6. Access Canvas, our learning management system where you will interact with course content. Make sure to bookmark the Canvas link, as you will use this system frequently.
7. Order your course materials, such as textbooks. Thomas More University works with an external partner, eCampus, to ensure all of our students have convenient access to the materials they need. See ordering instructions below

Notes and Reminders

• Some textbooks are only recommended, not required. This means that the professor recommends that you have the book but is not requiring you to purchase or rent the book for the course.
• There may be multiple options for ordering your books, such as buying new, buying used, renting, or purchasing digital books. Digital options are recommended for quick and convenient access to your textbooks. If you buy new or used, you can sell your book back at the end of the course for the market rate for buybacks. If you rent a hardcopy textbook, you will have to return it by a specific due date.
• What is inclusive access? Inclusive access gives you access to your textbooks right away inside your Canvas course. The textbook will be digital and accessed only through a link in the Canvas course. You will be charged for the cost of the book on your student account. If you wish to opt-out, you can do so inside the Canvas course. You would need to Then you would still need to order the textbook yourself.   Not all courses have inclusive textbooks – it will tell you if it is inclusive when you order your books from eCampus. If your course does not have inclusive access, then you will just need to purchase the textbook on your own.
