Below are
answers to the most common questions that we receive from
students. The complete MD CAPS User Guide for Students can
be found on the homepage of the MD CAPS system once you log
in. Click on the “Help” icon at the top of the page.

Q2. How do I create a user id so that I
can log in and see my information?
A2.
You must click on the “Create a Student Login” link. You
will then be taken to a web page where you will enter
personally identifiable information so that the system can
ensure that you are the correct user.
As part of your user id creation you will need to enter your
email address. This MUST be a unique email address that no
one else in the MD CAPS system uses. For example, if your
brother already has an MD CAPS user id, you will NOT be
allowed to use the same email address for your account. You
will need to use a different email address.
You will be required to enter your Name,
Social Security Number and birth date to confirm your
identity. Please be sure to enter this information
correctly. Incorrect information will significantly delay
your access to the MD CAPS system, as the system will not be
able to confirm your identity. Parents, if you are creating
the account for your student, DO NOT enter your own
information or that of another child (a common mistake).
You will be
required to accept a user agreement, and then you will need
to click on the “Create Login” button at the bottom of the
page.
After you
have created your login, an email from the MD CAPS system
will be sent to the email address you listed in your login
information. The email is for authentication purposes and
requires you to activate your user account. You must click
on the activation link in the email in order to activate
your MD CAPS user account. Once you have activated your
account, you are eligible to log in to your MD CAPS user
account with the user name and password you created.
If you do
not see an email from the MD CAPS system, check your spam
folders, junk mail, automatically deleted mail, and spam
filters. You MUST receive the email in order to activate
your account. We can resend the email if you delete it by
accident.
Be sure
to write down your username, password, and the email address
that you used to create your account so that you don’t
forget it.
