Info

Renaming your account takes about 10 minutes.  During Account takes a couple of minutes to synchronize across our systems.

During that time, we recommend you avoid accessing any access to Millikin services, Services - including myMILLIKIN and your Millikin eE-mail accountMail Account.

If you are currently taking classes, your username Username for myMILLIKIN cannot be renamed until after the grades have been posted at the end of the semester.
