Patriot Pass and Mason 365 Email

Now that you are officially an ADVANCE student, you need to set up your Patriot Pass and Mason 365 email accounts.

 

Your first step is to set up your Patriot Pass, as this is how you set up your Mason NetID (username) and password. Setting this up allows you to access your Mason 365 e-mail account. If you do not know your G number, please contact your assigned Success Coach immediately. As for your “claim code,” please try your date of birth (MMDDYY). If this does not work, please contact your Success Coach.

 

Once you have set up your Patriot Pass (i.e. your NetID and password), you will complete the following steps to set up your Mason email account:

Follow these instructions to log in to your Office 365 account for the first time.

Step 1

Go to mail.gmu.edu and click Office 365 Email.

Step 2

Log in with your NetID and Patriot Pass Password.

Step 3

You will be prompted to authenticate with Duo Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Note: If you are not enrolled in 2FA, you may be unable to access certain websites/applications. In this case, if you attempt to log in with your NetID and Patriot Pass Password, your access will be denied. You must enroll in 2FA immediately in order to access these systems. See: How to Enroll in 2FA with a Smartphone

Step 4

Select your Language and Time zone.

Congratulations! You can now use your Office 365 mailbox.

Mason ID Card

As for your Mason non-degree ID card, you will need to visit the Mason ID Card Office on the Fairfax campus to get your picture taken and receive your ID same day. Please bring a form of picture ID (i. e. a current driver’s license, military ID, visa, passport) and your G number with you to the Mason ID Card Office in order to obtain your Mason ID.
