Vernon College E-mail connection and setup instructions.

Logging into Vernon College email accounts

  1. How to activate your Vernon College E-mail account: 

    Go to https://login.live.com

    A. What is my USERNAME?

    Enter your Username in the E-mail address field:  In the E-mail address: box, type in your Vernon College email account name. This will contain the first letter of both your first and last name along with an assigned number. You can access this information three ways.
    First, click here for student directory and search for your name which will have your username. Then following the instructions.
    Second, you will find the username located under the MyVC login, Campus Connect, then the Demographic link.
    Third,
    login to MyVC, then click on Personal Information.

    Please Note: Vernon College has specifically assigned every student a unique email account. They cannot be changed due to name change, married name changes or any other reasons. In other words, the student does not have the option of picking their own email name.

    B. What is my password?

    This is the first two letters of your first and last name along with the two-digit month and day of your date of birth. For example, John Smith’s birth date is 09/01/1950; his password will be JoSm0901.

    Beginning October 3, 2008, Vernon College has changed the way we assign passwords. You will now be issued the same letters in ALL lowercase. So, in the example above, the password would be josm0901. Any student that was assigned a password before October  3, 2008, will still need to use Capital letters and lower case letters where applicable.

     You will be required to change this once you login. Note: If you use an apostrophe in your name, then you will need to drop it from the letters. You will only use three letters and the month and date of the Date of birth.
