Five College Student Guest Accounts

Five College students registered for Mount Holyoke courses may need access to ella, MHC's learning management system.  For this purpose, LITS provides one-semester guest accounts.

Use the Guest Accounts for Five College Students form if you have an email address from amherst.edu, hampshire.edu, smith.edu or umass.edu.  If you do not have an email account from one of the above schools, please visit the Information Commons to fill out a paper form.

Accounts are normally created within one day; you will receive your MHC login/username and password by email. Any questions regarding your account application could slow that process. Once you receive your MHC username, you will need to give it to the faculty member teaching the MHC course.  S/he will then need to add this username to her/his ella course site so that you will have access to course materials. In some rare instances, this may happen automatically, but don't count it! The best thing to insure access as a 5 C student is to ask your faculty member to add your new username to the ella course site.

These accounts also provide access MHC email.  We recommend that you forward your MHC email to your home institution once you have obtained a guest account.

A guest account is not needed for wireless internet access  You may get temporary wireless registration by clicking on the IP-request link at the login screen of Webmail/Webshell.
