Welcome to the Bates community!

Getting Started with Your Bates Account

If you’re feeling lost about where to start with activating your account or finding your student ID, begin by checking your admission portal: you should have received a detailed letter there with all the necessary instructions for setting up your profile and accessing important resources, including your Bates Gmail account. 

IMPORTANT: Prior to arriving on Campus, students must complete their First-Year Forms and complete their New Student Resources Lyceum Page.

Email communications from the First-Year Experience Team will be posted here once sent. Most communications will be sent at noon Eastern time.
