Set your password & account recovery options

Step 1: Change your password to something of your choosing!

Use your full email address (including @warren-wilson.edu) to change your password.

Remember, this should be at least 12 characters long and not easy to guess. Choose wisely as it affects how you sign into most systems at Warren Wilson.

The password must contain characters from 3 of the below categories:

• Uppercase letters.
• Lowercase letters.
• Include at least one numerical digit (0-9) in the password.
• Incorporate special characters (e.g., !, @, #, $, %, ^, &) for added security.

Avoid using easily guessable information like birth dates, names, or common words.

Create a unique password that is not shared with any other accounts.

If you receive the below message you have successfully changed your password and can continue on to Step 2.

Step 2: Wait about 5 minutes for your new password to get set throughout the WWC system. Then set your recovery to your personal phone/email so you can easily recover your account if you forget your password.

Setup your WWC Email

Go to http://mail.warren-wilson.edu (or you can just go to Gmail).

Your username for email and Google resources is the same as your email address, for example: jdoe.f24@warren-wilson.edu.

If you see a ‘Sign in’ screen here asking you to enter an email address to login, then continue to the next step.  If you’re already signed in to Google with a personal email, then sign out.  Note: If you’re using Chrome and want to access multiple Google accounts at once, you can add a new profile. Search “Add a person to Chrome” to find out more.

Use your full email address (your user name@warren-wilson.edu) and your new permanent password (the one you setup in the steps above) to sign in.

Check your email regularly.
