Registration

The MESA website allows you to log in using your existing institutional credentials.

 

1. Click the 'User Login or Register' button at the top of the page.

2. Select your institution. If you begin typing in the text box, you will see a list of suggestions.

3. You will be taken to your institution's login page. Enter your credentials.

4. You will be returned to the MESA website but will not have full access right away. An administrator will review your account request (this may take up to 1 business day).

5. When your account is approved, you will be notified via the email address associated with your login details.

For subsequent logins, simply click the 'User Login or Register' button, select your institution, and enter your credentials.

If your institution is not listed, you can request a University of Washington NetID. Please email zdrager@uw.edu with your request.

 

Restricted Sections

Some content may not be accessible with a basic user account:
