Dear Incoming MEM students,
We are very excited for the start of your program in August! Below are some reminders that will help you have a smooth transition to Duke. Please note the important deadlines listed for each.
-
- Net ID and Email – immediately!
- Immunizations – immediately!
- Duke Student ID Card – upload photo by July 24
- Preferred Name – update by July 24
- Transcript Reminder – send by August 10
- Net ID and Email – begin using immediately!
All Engineering Master’s students should have received instructions to set up your NetID and email. Please do this immediately so you can begin accessing the resources you need while you are studying at Duke. All official email from Duke will be sent to your Duke issued email address so this is essential.
- Immunizations – submit form immediately!
North Carolina State Law requires that all students entering college present a certificate of immunization that documents that the student has received all immunizations required by law. While your state or country of origin may have different immunization requirements, you must comply with North Carolina laws and Duke requirements. Any student who arrives on campus will be required to complete the immunization process by the 30th day of class. This requirements is not necessary for students who will be studying remotely.
- Duke Student ID Card – upload photo by July 24
Your Duke Student ID is one of the most important cards you will carry while you are studying at Duke. This card is a photo ID, with your name and unique ID number on it. With your card, you can access academic buildings, recreational facilities, library books, parking lots, campus events, and campus photocopying. If you plan to enroll in on campus classes in the fall, you will need a DukeID. Graduate Student Programs and Services (GSPS) will order your Duke ID Card and have it available for campus students to pick up during the first week of classes. You must first upload your photo by going to this link: https://dukecard.duke.edu/get-your-dukecard/submit-your-dukecard-photo.
- Preferred Name – update by July 24
The name that will be on the class lists that professors use to address their students is the preferred name. Please go to DukeHub, then click on the tab that says “Profile.” On that page, go to the edit button next to “Name” and from there you can update your “Preferred Name.”
- Official transcripts – send by August 10
All incoming Engineering Master’s Program students must submit official transcripts to enroll at Duke. MEng and MEM students, click here.
Please complete all of these important tasks mentioned in this email by the noted deadlines. If you have questions, feel free to email pratt-masters-steudentservices@duke.edu.
You will be hearing from us with the complete orientation schedule the week of July 27!
Sincerely,
Bridget Kerwin
