Please choose a password that is hard to guess and easy to remember. Do not share your password with anyone and never send a password over email.

No problem! You can reset your password to the last 6 digits of your SID#. You'll have to choose another password when you first log in. To reset your password, go here.

While this system is hosted by google and it works just like gmail, it is separate. You can have both a gmail account and a Seattle Central email using Google Apps. You can even be logged into both simultaneously.

You can set up your Seattle Central mail to forward to your favorite account. This lets people like your instructors send email to your seattlecentral.edu email address, and lets you read it from the account of your choice.

To set up mail forwarding follow these steps:

1. Log onto your Seattle Central email account
2. Click the link titled 'Settings' in the upper right corner
3. Click the tab titled 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP'
4. Click the radio button next to 'Forward a copy of incoming mail to'
5. Type your preferred email address into the text box
6. Click the button labeled 'Save Changes'

Please read the 'Help' pages on the email system or talk to the folks in the student lab in BE 3148 if you have questions. Even if they don't know the answers, they can find the people who do.

This FAQ should grow as we get more questions from users.
