Accessing and Using The Archway

What is The Archway? The Archway is an interactive tool that allows students to access selected academic and personal information. It can be accessed on or off campus and the information is password protected.

 

How do I obtain my account username and password for The Archway?

Once you have been accepted to McDaniel College , you should receive a letter with your email username and instructions on activating your McDaniel College email account.  If you are an undergraduate student and did not receive a letter, contact Academic Affairs at 410-857-2790.  If you are a graduate student and did not receive a letter, contact the Graduate Office at 410-857-2513.  Fifteen minutes after you have completed the email activation process, log into your McDaniel email account and look for an "Archway Student Information" email.  It may be dated prior to the day that you activated your McDaniel email account.  That email will contain your Archway username, temporary password, and instructions on accessing the Archway.  If you do not receive an "Archway Student Information" email, contact the WebAdvisor Administrator at webadvisor@mcdaniel.edu or 410-871-3327.  The first time you log into The Archway, you will be required to reset your temporary password.  Your new password must include letters and numbers and be between 6-9 characters in length.
