Account life-cycle
Creation & first access
New undergraduate students first receive access to their MHC account via an email from Admissions ahead of their first semester at the College. Usually this happens in mid May for students starting in the fall semester and in mid October for students starting in the spring semester.
When you leave MHC
When students graduate and become alums of the College, they retain access to their MHC Google accounts, but not the other services listed above. For more, see the related article about MHC accounts for alums.
