What needs to happen for an applicant to get access to WiscMail and Outlook Calendar

1. Applicant applies to Graduate School and submits an application for Residency decision to the Office of the Registrar.
2. Applicant is admitted to Graduate School (ADMT code in SIS).
3. Applicant is matriculated to Graduate School (MATR code in SIS) – this is an automated process most of the year.  For grad students that start in the fall, we turn on auto matriculation in mid to late June. We do not manually matriculate students before that for fall students. We only do manual matriculation in late August for new fall grad students.
4. Office of the Registrar term activates a matriculated student. This is an automated process that happens overnight once a matriculation code (MATR) has been assigned to a student.
5. Once term activated, the student will have access to WiscMail to set it up, and they will have to activate their missing services.

DoIT owns the WiscMail issuance process, so if issues remain after fulfilling all of these requirements, then the student will need to contact DoIT for additional troubleshooting.
