How to Activate Student E-Mail 1. Log in to the student Registration system (also known as My Community Education or Banner ). 2. The new account notice shows at the top of the screen once signed in. Click "Click here" to begin the process of activating your student e-mail account. 3. From this screen, write down your College Issued Student E-mail Account address.
4. When you have noted your e-mail address, click click here to continue. Important! Do not click the Submit button at the bottom of the page. 5. On this screen will be information about your starting password for student e-mail. Read and print the First Login Password Information before clicking the link. This information is needed for account activation. When ready to proceed, Click Click Here to Access Your Account.
6. The link takes you to the Microsoft Exchange Labs student e-mail login page at http://www.exchangelabs.com. Enter your student e-mail address in the field that asks for a Windows Live ID. 7. Enter your first login password (Refer to the page you printed with the First Login Password information for details about your initial password format.) 8. Uncheck the options to Remember me on this computer and Remember my password if either box is checkmarked. 9. Click Sign in. 10. Wait for the page to load; the time to wait depends on the speed of your internet connection. 11. Enter your first login password again. (Refer to the page you printed with the First Login Password information for details about your initial password.)
12. Type and re-type a new password you would like to keep for the account. Important! Make sure to remember your new password. This new password is needed to access your student e-mail account. 13. It is highly recommended to check the box to make your password expire every 72 days. 14. Select a question by clicking the down-point arrow and then clicking question. Then enter the answer to the question. Note: You will be asked this question later on to verify your identity if you forget your password and need to reset it.
15. Type and re-type an alternate e-mail address. Important! Even though alternate e-mail address is not a required field on the form, it is important to fill in an alternate e-mail address if you have one. If you forget your password and use the automated password reset function, the new password reset information will be sent to your alternate e-mail address. Without an alternate e-mail address, when you use the automated password reset the new information will be sent back to the student e-mail account and you would need to call live support to reset your password. 16. Select your country and state. Type your ZIP code and year of birth. 17. Click I accept.
18. Click Sign in to Windows Live. 19. Enter your student e-mail address and new password you just created, then click Sign in. 20. Do not mark the option for the low vision settings unless you really do need this option; it provides a Java-light version of the e-mail program that may not have as extensive functionality.
21. Select your preferred Language and your time zone and then click OK. 22. Your student e-mail account is now activated and you are logged in for the first time.
23. When you are finished working in your e-mail account, click Log Off to close your session. The next time you wish to access e-mail, you do not need to visit the registration system first. You can come directly to the e-mail login web page at http://www.exchangelabs.com and log in using your student e-mail address and the new password you have just created. The student e-mail address will be the address of record, and official school communications on topics varying from Financial Aid, Registration and instructor comments to campus weather outage notifications will be sent to the student e-mail address. Remember to check it often!
