Question

How do I create my account?  

Answer

Please be aware your login ID stays with you while you are at UC Davis.
Keep this in mind when selecting a login ID. Select a login Id that you will be comfortable with long-term, and may need to share in professional situations.


For your Mail ID, common names may mean the first few options you input are in use by users at UC Davis. 
Please see the UC Davis Email Naming Conventions to try a few options that may be workable. https://kb.ucdavis.edu/?id=1448
Additionally, the mail ID cannot be longer than 24 characters in total but your last name can be shorter that the lived last name. 

To create your account visit http://myadmissions.ucdavis.edu.

Look for the button to Set Up Account.

Click that button and follow the instructions. Don’t forget that your Student ID number is a 9-digit number, it was emailed to you in December from UC Davis. It is NOT your UC Application ID number. If you do not know your Student ID number, please call Undergraduate Admissions at 530-752-2971.

Please wait at least 15 minutes before logging into your account after a successful creation. When logging in, please use the Login ID that you created, and not the Student ID number. Due to the volume of users accessing our systems at any given moment, this delay is necessary to maintain system integrity.
