STEP 1: SET UP YOUR CLARKE ACCOUNTS

To login to your Clarke email account:

  3. Click My Mail in the pop-out menu which takes you to the login screen
  4. Enter your Username firstname_lastname@clarke.edu all in lower case. If you are having issues logging in and you entered a nickname/preferred name on your admission application, try using your preferred name in place of your first name in the username (i.e. preferredname_lastname).

STEP 2: ACCESS/UNDERSTAND YOUR CLARKE ACCOUNTS

View instructions here for logging in to your Clarke email, MyInfo, or Moodle accounts.

  • CU hub. CU hub is where you will view your schedule, register for classes, access your grades, and much more.
  • MyInfo. MyInfo is where you will view and pay your bill.
  • Moodle. Moodle is the online learning system you will use for your classes.
  • Clarke Email. Please be sure to check your Clarke email frequently, as most communication will be done via Clarke email. I recommend that you set up your Clarke email on your phone (iPhone|Android) OR set up your Clarke email to be forwarded to your personal or work email account if you do not want to have to log in to your Clarke email account regularly.

To prepare yourself for your graduate program at Clarke, please review the Admitted Student Guide (a to-do checklist for new graduate students) by logging on to the Graduate Studies portal using your Clarke login credentials. Please complete the checklist on the Admitted Student Guide no later than one week before classes start.

STEP 4: REVIEW THE GRADUATE STUDIES PORTAL

In addition to information about orientation and the Admitted Student Guide, the Graduate Studies portal has resources about funding/finances, parking permits, academic services, course registration, IT support, billing, on-campus dining/housing, and information about Dubuque, IT resources, and much more.
