Student Email

All students are automatically provided an e-mail account, but an account isn't active and available for use until the student activates the account.

It is a good practice to check your e-mail account once a day during the work week.

E-mail services for students are provided free by Microsoft through its Outlook Live@edu service. E-mail addresses provided look like username@go.inverhills.edu with each person having their own username. This e-mail address is used by the college administration and instructors to communicate with students. Check it at least weekly, and daily if used by one of your instructors. The Outlook Live@edu service provides a web e-mail client application. POP3 and IMAP e-mail client applications may also be used; see the Outlook Live site for configuration details.

Basic e-mail account details:

• Username is the same username for your campus network I-NET account, which is the first four letters of your last name followed by a four digit number.
• Password is set by you and synchronized with your campus network I-NET account; change your I-NET account password and your Outlook Live@edu service password is also changed immediately.
• E-mail address is your_username@go.inverhills.edu

How to activate your Outlook Live account

1. Change your campus I-NET account password.
   Why? So you can log into both your I-NET and Outlook Live accounts using the same username and password! Each time you change your I-NET password the password is also sent to the Outlook Live service to keep them synchronized.
   1. If you are on campus using a campus-provided computer, you can press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to access the change password application built into Windows.
   2. If you areoff campus, or on campus using your own computer, go here to changeyour I-NET password. You will need toknow your student ID number and Online Services password, which is theusername and password you use to log in to register for classes at e-services.
