Account Life-cycle
Creation & first access
Five College students enrolled in an MHC course prior to the add/drop period at the beginning of the semester will receive an account creation email with the information they need to access their MHC account within 2 weeks of the first day of class. Students who enroll during the add/drop period will receive their account creation email once their enrollment is processed by MHC's Registrar's Office.
The email will have the subject line "Access Your Mount Holyoke Account & OneCard" and be sent from DoNotReply@mtholyoke.edu.
Not your first semester taking an MHC course? Five College students taking MHC courses will
only get the new account email the FIRST time they take a class at MHC. In any future semesters where you are enrolled in an MHC course, your MHC account and OneCard will be reactivated, though
the initial account creation email is NOT resent. For support re-accessing an existing MHC account, please visit the
MHC Account access support page.
Deactivation
Account access ends when the semester is over unless the student is already enrolled in another MHC course for the following semester. Account access is also restored in any future semesters where the student is enrolled in an MHC course, though the initial account creation email is not resent.
