Guest Accounts for Five College Students (Amherst, Hampshire, Smith, UMass)
or Other non-MHC Students Registered for a Course or Courses

Students registered for courses at MHC may need access to the Ella course management system (https://ella.mtholyoke.edu).

For this purpose, Mount Holyoke College provides one-semster guest accounts for those students registered for courses at Mount Holyoke.

These accounts also provide 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 access in our hotspots in the Library, Blanchard, or Kendade. You may get a temporary wireless registration without any computer account by clicking on the IP-request link at the login screen of Webmail/Webshell. Alternatively, you may connect to the SSID MHC-Guest for basic Internet services.

If there are no questions about your account application, the accounts are normally created within one day and you receive your MHC login/username and password by email.
